I have not checked your patch closely, but
arch/sun3/sun3{,x}/vme.c also have broken cf_unit usage.
The "real" solution is to switch sun3 port to MI vme(4) as sun2,
but it requires to rewrite all framebuffer drivers for sun3
to use MI sun drivers.
(I've done bus_space(9) and bus_dma(9) for sun3, but
for the rest more motivation is required..)
