I would like to work on getting the core platform support (namely
/platform links and the custom platmod support) for TAD,Viper into

The bug came in with CR 6458566, and it is not in b.o.o yet.
I'll take this one, if or no other reason than Garrett and I have
worked together before.
Note that this will need a quick simple ARC case to reserve the name
into $PLATFORM namespace, I'll sponsor that part as well.
Great. Okay, so I've got a platmod that seems to work, and I've got
stuff to add to the following packages:
SUNWcakr.u
SUNWcar.u
SUNWkvm.u
SUNWhea
Essentially all this does is set up the /platform and /usr/platform
links, and populate an initial platmod and ppm.conf file. (From
uts/sun4u/viper.) Here's the system info for this system:
# uname -a
SunOS bullfrog 5.11 snv_44 sun4u sparc TAD,Viper
There will be future stuff we want to add (primarily for power
management), but we can do that as a separate case. For now I think my
code is pretty much ready to go.
I'm in the process of trying to make sure our company has an SCA in place.
What else do I need to do to make this happen? (I.e. what is the next
step?)
