In Solaris 10, I can say definitively that it is used in kernel 120011-06 (used in update 4 beta, projected release for 7/07 I believe), but I don't know if there are any earlier versions that use it. I don't know about Solaris Express versions, but I would guess from the subject line that starting with at least snv_62, netstack was used.

netstack came about as a result of the integration of IP Instances[1] into the Nevada code base. IP Instances as a feature was deemed worthy by Sun to back port to Solaris 10, and thus it is ending up as one of the new features that Solaris updates add (Update 4 in this case)

Because IP Instances was putback to Nevada, it'll thus be in any Solaris Express released since that point... so Yes, it's in Solaris Express (SX, SXCE, SXDE) and will be in Solaris 10u4 as you pointed out... which is a good heads-up to have in our (OpenAFS's) case because my repeated begging to my Sun sales team to get me on the update beta programs seems to not go far.
