The main challenge is that the 3x (Sun3/80) has a completely different
MMU from the rest of the Sun3 line (the 3x uses the Motorola MMU).
We should be able to borrow pmap code from the hp300, at least,
but the machine is otherwise not terribly similar to a sun3.

If I had one of those (Sun3/80) I might be inclined to try making
NetBSD work on it.  So far, I've been too cheap to buy one...
