Hi:
I need to know if your Linux Distribution supports E6900 with
UltraSPARC-IV cpu.
If you have an affirmative answer please send me information ASAP.
Thanks, in advance

I've added support to the current kernels, but it is totally
untested since I lack any access to such systems or cpus.
Systems with mixed UltraSPARC-III and UltraSPARC-IV cpus
definitely does not work. Currently, if the kernel sees
an UltraSPARC-IV cpu, it assumes all cpus have the capabilities
that UltraSPARC-III+ and later cpus have.
If you want support to work and be tested, send me a test
machine so that I can do this.
