There is something like that already in assembler_sparc.hpp:
      inline void lduw( const Address& a, Register d, int offset = 0 );

I thought you were talking about making Address easier to use...?

If you just want to add a +4 offset, you can use the optional offset  
argument above.

If you want to fold the offset into the Address itself, use  
Address::plus_disp (which is new).
