It's more complicated. You'd better add in different variant timelines for which PCI bus chip will/won't be supported. There are some endian issues for PCI devices. The Qlogic ISP driver is ready for SBus and PCI (it exists in the NetBSD version) but hasn't really been shaken out on UltraSparc machines except in it's linux instantation- and there are some swizzling issues that will have to be worked out. Maybe a list of 'goal' machines. Frankly, this effort could save a lot of wear and tear on all of us if it just concentrates on sun4m/sun4u.
