If I understand correctly everything in there is annotated to indicate what arch its supported on, so I think this would work fine. Some sparc64 only stuff would need to be added (hme, gem, sab), but that's all that I noticed in a quick perusal. Do either of you want to do this? Quick question: is it possible to include a file from the doc tree in the sparc.sgml platform webpage? I'd like to have a brief list of systems that are supported there, with a more detailed list in proc-sparc64.sgml, but would like to avoid listing them twice.
