Excellent! I have a machine I was just thinking today I need to
move from "waiting to test more SMP code" to "replacement for a
production sparc64 UP machine" status. I'm glad I postponed long
enough for at least one more round of testing. :-)
I have an Ultra 2 with a pair of UltraSPARC-I's in it, and I also
have a pair of UltraSPARC-II's (300Mhz) to swap into it. So, I
should be able to provide tests on both.
I'm updating my -current tree (which I don't tend to use much),
and will get a build done this evening. Thanks much!!!
