In subpage_read() we perform a load of the data into a local buffer
which we then access using ldub_p(), lduw_p(), ldl_p() or ldq_p()
depending on its size, storing the result into the uint64_t *data.
Since ldl_p() returns an 'int', this means that for the 4-byte
case we will sign-extend the data, whereas for 1 and 2 byte
reads we zero-extend it.

This ought not to matter since the caller will likely ignore values in
the high bytes of the data, but add a cast so that we're consistent.
