This change never made it in, and I found a case that may benefit from it.

The ledma seems to have an extra register that Solaris 9 reads, address
0x78400020 on SS-5, and the OBP properties of a SS-20 do indicate that
there could be up to 32 bytes of registers:
  ok cd /iommu/sbus/ledma
  ok .attributes
  burst-sizes              0000003f
  reg                      0000000f  00400010  00000020
  name                     ledma

As a hack, you can get Solaris 9 to boot single user by adding this one
line to sun4m_hw_init() in sun4m.c:
    empty_slot_init(hwdef->dma_base + 32ULL, 16);
