Integer Multiply/Divide on Sparc

[Wm E Davidsen Jr]

  Actually memory is cheap enough to use 64k for a lookup table. Make a
16 bit address from the two bytes to multiply as
	0      78      15
	|_______|______|
	| byte1 | byte2|
	|_______|______|
and just pull the answer out of memory.

  Actually, the Intel practice of treating a 32 bit register as lots of
little registers, with the 8 and 16 bit portions addressible by name,
would be handy for some of this stuff, eliminating a shift. It should
still be quite fast.
