OK, a *slight* tempering of my enthusiasm; a test on a Sun Netra T1 model 200, 
i.e.

mainbus0 (root): SUNW,UltraAX-i2 (Netra T1 200): hostid XXXXXXXX
cpu0 at mainbus0: SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIe @ 500 MHz, UPA id 0
cpu0: 16K instruction (32 b/l), 16K data (32 b/l), 256K external (64 b/l)

yielded:

trap type 0x10: cpu 0, pc=1009f54 npc=10c9fb4 pstate=0x44820016<PEF,PRIV,IE>
kernel trap 10: illegal instruction

... and that halted the boot sequence. So we're going to have to be careful 
about precisely which CPUs support the instruction in question. Any bets on the 
UltraSPARC IIe that one finds in the Sun Fire v120 (550/650 MHz, as opposed to 
the 500 MHz version in the Netra T1 model 200)?
