I'm afraid you'll have to give me a bit more details.

If you're reading an 8 byte quantity, what is there to sign-extend?
Sign extension only makes sense if what you're reading is *smaller*
than the size of the register you are targeting.

I must be missing something. And how is that related to running BE? BE
in the host? The guest?

Please convince me.
