I'm somewhat borderline about whether this is worth it or not. Most SBUS
stuff that is worth supporting (IOW, has a driver for it) is built-into
the kernel. There aren't really that many other things.
Most UltraSPARC's are moving to PCI anyway, so I think supporting SBUS
in discover is probably just a lot of work for something that isn't
evolving anyway. Does anyone ever really have a need for for discover to
work on SBUS? Only think I can think of that is useful is identifying
the framebuffer(s) for xfree86 driver selection.
