Not wanting to go off at a tangent too much, but what's the status of
sun4u support?  Is anyone actively working on that?  With the advent of
cheap-ish PCI machines like the Ultra-5, sun4u starts looking more
attractive as a NetBSD platform...

I'm mostly curious as to what the issues involved are...presumably new
bus support (FPA and PCI), new MMUs with new undocumented bugs, new
instructions?
