I really think this is a bug either in the trap handler or in the hppa64
qemu emulation. Only unaligned ldd instructions affect (actually,
unconditionally set) the carry flag. That doesn't happen with unaligned
ldw instructions. It would be worthwhile tracking this down since there are
lots of unaligned data accesses (8-byte accesses on 4-byte aligned addresses)
when running the kernel in 64-bit mode. On the other side, I guess this
is a different problem. Not sure though if that should even be mentioned
here since that makes it sound as if it would be expected that such
accesses impact the carry flag.

I'll run this through my test system and let you know how it goes.
It should be done in a couple of hours.
