"Fixed itech32 driver crash on AMD64 cpus [R. Belmont]"

Just a heads up for amd64 users out there trying to run sftm or
timekill.  Don't get your hopes up on 0.90 yet.
This fix does not work as advertised.

The bug is documented here:
http://www.anthrofox.org/code/mame/64bitclean/index.html

Now, that said I did find out how to get R. Belmont's patch to
work.  He masked the offending "(sx >> 8)" to force it to stay
in bounds, but this also has to be done a few lines above the
segfault, in the line with compute_safe_address().  If you do
that, timekill and sftm run without segfaulting.

However, I'm sure you'll agree this is more of a bandaid
solution.  Probably the best fix is to find out why it's going
out of bounds in the first place.  If anyone here is more
familiar with src/vidhrdw/itech32.c, your thoughts are welcome.
