For my personal culture, is that strictly equivalent to doing the load
with MO_BESW?
If you're asking if it's the same as passing MO_BESW to
tcg_gen_qemu_ld_i32(), yes. The tcg code generator takes care of making
the value sign-extended.
If you're asking if it's the same as passing MO_BESW to cpu_ldw_mmu(),
no. The core functions only handle unsigned values. This older api
contained functions with a signed return value, so we preserve that.
Are these 2 APIs doing the same thing? What are the uses? Can we rename
the legacy one?
