Ok, now it makes a lot of sense. I'm pretty sure that the UltraSPARC-II
module is compatible with US-I, since I'm running it on an Ultra 1/170E and
an Enterprise 3000 with 4 x US-I CPUs since s10_44/45 when UltraSPARC-I
support was `removed'. In OpenGrok I find that the CR above only included
Makefile and packaging changes (together with the kobj.c change), and
perhaps the eventual sponsor can help to verify this.
Thanks.
