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.
