... and a magic load; you have no idea what the format of a function
descriptor is, at this point.
Can you make convert_from_func_ptr_addr do what you need? It needs a
target_ops; conveniently you've got one (tmp_bfd_target). Some targets
use a memory read function which honors the supplied target_ops, others
don't. rs6000's doesn't so you'd need to fix that.
