I see Manuel's patch isn't included in that PR yet:

	http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sparc/2002/07/27/0001.html

I naively wrapped the change with an #ifdef SUN4C and a run-time check
for CPU_ISSUN4C so I could still compile the same source tree for sun4m:

	http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sparc/2002/08/05/0006.html

but to be really "portable" I guess it would (also/instead) have to be
surrounded by a run-time check for (!cacheinfo.c_hwflush).
