allow for such, it would seem that US2 hardware does.
What ASI was failing? It may still be a part of sun4v CPUs if it's
described in UST1/UST2 supplements.

So indeed it would appear that FreeBSD does in fact want the half of the result
that would get stored into %g1. As far as I can see they could have achieved
the same result with
ldxa [%g4] #ASI_IC_TAG, %g1
srl %g1, 0, %g1
to stay within the nominal spec.
