Oh, I remember hitting this. I wrote this to get around it.

[root@ca-qasparc10 rules.d]# cat 10-sunv.rules
# Theory
# Linux under solaris's ldm exposes a pile of /devices/channel-devices/v*
# devices. The drivers should not be reloaded as that would likely
# crash the system.
# If the vio subsystem exists, we check for an environment var (sunv_ran)
# if it doesn't exist or does not have the value '1' then we look for
# a glob match for each driver,.. should we find one we set sunv_ran to
# '1' permently using ':=' and load the associated module
#
SUBSYSTEM!="vio", ENV{sunv_ran}!="1", GOTO="vio_end"
DEVPATH=="/devices/channel-devices/vnet-*", ENV{sunv_ran}:="1",
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -b sunvnet"
DEVPATH=="/devices/channel-devices/vdc-*", ENV{sunv_ran}:="1",
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -b sunvdc"
LABEL="vio_end"
