I tried to look to a previous discussion on this and I failed to locate one, thus let me raise the point here. As I'm working on on largeSMP support, I was wondering how much sense makes to fixing sun4v for this. Besides having 'tinderbox/universe' working, not so much it seems. The code is pretty much rotting and marius@ said explicitely that an effective effort on that platform should probabilly be more similar to what OpenBSD does with it. He also is in favor of dropping the support entirely, right now. So what are objections (if any) about dropping sun4v? Attilio -- Peace can only be achieved by understanding - A. Einstein
