I think I understand from a comment I saw from Kip that there are (at least) two issues: (1) An issue in VM handling that will be resolved by alc's replacement contigmalloc. I don't know what the details are here. (2) An issue involving sun4v breakage post-ifilters. No details here either. If we're going to ship a 7.0 release for sun4v, we need to get these things resolved. Do we have a sense of what work is required here? Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
