 It looks like we have to support 32-bit loads from/stores to the stack
 too. Fortunately, we are looking at constant offset from the C stack
 pointer (r1) and the offsets are known at compilation time, so performance
 of the object code produced by GHC is not going to suffer much if at all.

 I could prepare a patch next week and verify on powerpc64. @erikd could
 you help out building the patch on your machine?
