Ok, seems the kernel is consuming lots of 
time due to some i/o port access, for a 
driver using IPL 11.

This might be similar to defect 12799
"SNV_127 Opensolaris spend 30-40% of CPU time in kernel"
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=12799

Can you try to find out who's calling "outw" ?

    lockstat -kIW -f outw -s 8 dd if=/dev/rdsk/c8t0d0s0 of=/dev/null bs=65536 
count=16384
