When the immediate encoded in the instruction is accessed, it is sign
extended due to being a signed value being assigned to a signed integer.
The ISA specifies that this operation is an unsigned operation.
The sign extension leads us to incorrectly decode:
801e9c8e: cbf1 sw ra,68(sp)
As having an immediate of 1073741809.
Since the instruction format does not specify signed/unsigned, and this
is currently the only location to use this instuction format, change it
to an unsigned immediate.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
