term_getc()'s int c has one byte written into it (at its lowest address) by
read_in_full().  This is expected to be the least significant byte, but that
isn't the case on BE!  Use correct type, unsigned char.  A similar issue exists
in term_getc_iov(), which needs to write a char to the iov rather than an int.

Looks OK to me. Asias?

We can drop this line too.

	c &= 0xff;

D'oh!  Of course it can -- I'll remove it & repost.
