I would offer the counter point that GENERIC is getting a little too
big these days. It's already too big to boot on sun4c machines with
the original memory config most of them shipped with. Having a unified
kernel that boots on everything is nice on paper but on sun4 and sun4c
the lack of RAM makes things painfully slow. I think it might be worth
going back to the SunOS way of having a separate kernel for each
karch.
