Nope. You skipped a para:
"Technically only some sun4m chips are affected, but as glibc can't 
reliably detect whether a system is affected it will refuse to be 
upgraded on any 32bit SPARC system before a fixed kernel is installed."

So, the choice was made _not_ to try to detect between different sun4m 
processors and the kernel upgrade section _does_ apply to you.
