That's what it feels like, although I would say it's a workaround for a 
Solaris kernel bug. Hopefully the commit message and the comment are 
verbose enough so that if/when someone does work out what the right 
behaviour should be, they can change it with a reasonable degree of 
confidence.

Are you happy for me to commit this, with just a minor change to add the 
CONFIG_DEBUG_SBUS variable into sparc32_config.xml?


ATB,

Mark.
