Since I assume that current 4.4.x kernels already support M7, you should also be able to run Debian's sparc64 port since it comes with that kernel.
However, since I have never even seen an M7 in real life, I can't really tell.
You might just try to install it in an Linux LDOM.

Hi there everyone, I was wondering, will the Debian SPARC
port, as it is now, run on the new SPARC M7 processor that just
came out from Oracle? I've heard a lot about this processor,
and it's supposed to be quite groundbreaking, and I am intrigued. I
know this might not be the best place to ask this, but I've scoured
the net and can't find an answer.
Thanks so much, looking forward to a reply. I've been following
the Debian SPARC mailing lists for several months now and haven't
heard anything about the M7 here, so I would love to hear whats up
with it.
