I did a one-off qemu test run on my desktop.  There are a few interesting
failing tests, such as a ipf bus error and SA_RESETHAND.  Also, it
seems that sparc has the same problem as powerpc with mutexes, i.e.
trying lock a competed mutex hangs occasionally (see PR powerpc/44387).
That causes a few extra failures in addition to the pthread tests failing,
or at least that's my theory when I xref the results with macppc tests.

I uploaded the test results here:
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/pooka/atf-misc/sparc-201103041300Z.html

(A few moments ago I fixed newfs_msdos, so the msdosfs tests no longer
fail).

p.s. qemu-system-sparc takes a full CPU on the host regardless of
guest load.  is that a bug or a feature?
