  • Just simply provide a device table containing an entry for sun4v cpus,
    the capability mask checks in the drivers themselves will take care of
    the rest.

    This makes the bootup logs on pre-T4 cpus slightly more verbose, with
    each driver indicating lack of support for the associated opcode(s).

    But this isn't too much of a real problem.

    I toyed with the idea of using explicit entries with compatability
    fields of "SPARC-T4", "SPARC-T5", etc. but all future cpus will have
    some subset of these opcodes available and this would just be one more
    pointless thing to do as each new cpu is released with a new string.
