Each area of code should be in the least-specific sysdeps directory to
which it applies. So moving things purely about writing sparc machine
code into sysdeps/sparc/ is right. If the syscall stuff applies to how
syscalls are done on other sparc systems like BSDs, then leave it in
sysdeps/unix/sparc/.
