There were bugs in the interrupt handling on sun4v that were introduced 
at some point but I thought were fixed again.  I don't remember if it 
was before or after this post from a year ago.  Anyway there are likely 
to be various other issues that crop up once/if the port becomes 
minimally usable, so it shouldn't be seen as only needing a single bugfix.
