It is. Notice it's being moved from conf/i386-*.rmk, not common.rmk.
normal: Includes normal/i386/setjmp.S
serial, pci: Relies on grub_{in,out}{b,w,l} functions, which are only
implemented for i386 so far. Of course, if someone writes the powerpc
stubs, then they could be moved to common.rmk, but they're i386-specific
now.

Agreed. I suggest we remove the conf/sparc* files, which are burdensome
(since people unaware that SPARC is broken might try to keep them uptodate)
and don't really provide any hard-to-find knowledge, and keep the
kern/*/sparc/* bits which might be useful if/when someone tries to reinstate
the port.

still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
