[SPARC64]: Top-down address space allocation for 32-bit tasks.

Currently allocations are very constrained for 32-bit processes.
It grows down-up from 0x70000000 to 0xf0000000 which gives about
2GB of stack + dynamic mmap() space.

So support the top-down method, and we need to override the
generic helper function in order to deal with D-cache coloring.

With these changes I was able to squeeze out a mmap() just over
3.6GB in size in a 32-bit process.
