I cannot confirm that, the specification for the first sun4u CPU
having a %stick register (UltraSPARC III, see 1, p. 6-105) up to
the latest architecture specification (see 2, p. 60) say that bit
32 of %stick is NPT, just as with %tick. Same for the specification
the Fujitsu SPARC64 processors follow (3, p. 90).
