This patch below seems to improve the situation for me
on my SunBlade1500, let me know if you can get farther
on your Ultra60.
This points out a big pet-peeve I have with all of
these hugetlb page table interfaces, every single
platform has the HPAGE_MASK the address parameter,
and missing that is how I keep getting burnt with
hugetlb bugs on sparc64.
I really think the callers should be doing this.

[SPARC64]: Add missing HPAGE_MASK masks on address parameters.
These pte loops all assume the passed in address is HPAGE
aligned, make sure that is actually true.
