Hi Sam,

This is my first sparc assembly code, so I could certainly have this
wrong. The code I was trying to write has the two nop instructions,
that get patched with the mov and ldxa on sun4v. Certainly, this is
not elegant. And, the formatting may lead to some confusion.

Did you perhaps think the mov instruction after the comment was for
patching? I am just trying to understand your comment.
