I've added support to the current kernels, but it is totally untested since I lack any access to such systems or cpus.
Systems with mixed UltraSPARC-III and UltraSPARC-IV cpus definitely does not work. Currently, if the kernel sees an UltraSPARC-IV cpu, it assumes all cpus have the capabilities that UltraSPARC-III+ and later cpus have.
If you want support to work and be tested, send me a test machine so that I can do this.
