UltraSPARC-T1 support is functionally complete.

Recent changes:

• tod support added
• dynamic hash resizing
• dynamic tsb resizing
• fix TSO and PCIe support for em on sparc
• cddl licensed hypervisor interface code removed and replaced with bsd licensed versions
• “shutdown -r” and “shutdown -h” now work correctly
• loadable modules now work on large memory systems

Current work item:

• Virtual network driver - LDC and mdesc support are in

There are a number of known issues that need to be fixed before release:

• serial port not currently supported
• fixups for unaligned loads/stores don't work

The following is a list of items that I would like to see done by the time 7.0 is released.

Longer-term work for logical domaining support:

• virtual disk driver
• CPU hotplug
• memory hotplug - longer term issue, will not happen by 7.0

Desired platform-specific optimizations / features:

• MSI
• profiling
• dynamic TSB resizing - (not yet enabled)
• superpage support
• optimized copyin/copyout
• optimized bzero / bcopy in libc
• T2 10GigE support

Desired platform-independent optimizations:

• reduce coverage of vm page queue mutex
• remove sched_lock

Nice to have functionality:

• minidumps
• java support
