It's panicking because you specified the wrong root device:

You specified vdiska1 which is your boot part:

/dev/vdiska1 is the boot partition for SILO, not the root filesystem.

I'm not sure what you implying, but in case you aren't aware of the fact: Upstream
kernel development is done by Oracle. The kernel has full hardware support even
for the latest M7/S7 machines, so there is nothing that needs to be tested.

Also, one of our current buildds is a SPARC T5 server with multiple LDOMs.

Thanks,
