Yes, both 32- and 64-bit kernel modules should be put into a
single package.
The 64-bit driver will use it's own "amd64" subdirectory for the
driver, so this doesn't conflict with the 32-bit driver.
The prototype file for the package should look similar to this
(where I'm installing two kernel modules "ni" and "dp8390"
to /kernel/drv/, both 32- and 64-bit):
i pkginfo
i postinstall
i preremove
i copyright
d none /kernel ? ? ?
d none /kernel/drv ? ? ?
f none /kernel/drv/ni=ni 0755 root sys
f none /kernel/drv/dp8390=dp8390 0755 root sys
f none /kernel/drv/amd64/ni=amd64/ni 0755 root sys
f none /kernel/drv/amd64/dp8390=amd64/dp8390 0755 root sys
The 32-bit Solaris kernel will pick up the 32-bit driver
binary from /kernel/drv/{modulename}, and when you boot
64-bit, /kernel/drv/amd64/{modulename} will be used.
Not sure how to get the desired result with pkg_drv, though...
