Yep. I tested the fixes on a 3 x 125 HS SS20 running the 2.0 branch.
They were pulled up in tickets 178 and 179:
Pass LK_NOWAIT to vget() while holding the spechash spinlock in
checkalias(). This fixes a locking procedures violation on MP
kernels.
[pk, ticket #178]
Many fixes for issues with sparc multi-processor support (includes
fixes to make HyperSPARC MP work).
[pk, ticket #179]
(See src/doc/CHANGES-2.0 on the 2.0 branch.)
