I'm not sure what Eduardo and Paul are planning just yet, but I think
a combination of the two might be desirable... certainly, a dev/sbus (and
I believe Paul is working on that right now).
I think a lot of merging can be done w/ sparc vs. sparc64, even given the
differences in the platforms (and the large amount of new code that's
in the sparc64 port).
