On the other hand, the request for lsof in Solaris is anything but new,

is "common operator knowledge", ... - all that isn't new either ...
Note that lsof doesn't have to do kmem craling. For example on Linux
it only uses proper procfs interfaces. As such proper interfaces seem
to exist on Solaris as well for use with pfiles it shouldn't be a problem
for people knowledgeable in this area to adjust lsof to do the right
thin on Solaris aswell.
I know. That's all in the RFE I've referred to anyway. Just noone has done
it yet. Maybe because Solaris developers know the "Solaristics" and don't
miss "lsof" overly much. Again, personally, I can get what I want with
pfiles and a bit of scripting; but thinking about e.g. having to write
such a script portable between Solaris and Linux, admittedly, that'd be a
pain, and that's where the usefulness of "lsof" comes in.
