Hi All,
I would suggest that, for now, we address the bug itself by merely converting sunlance over to the of_*() interfaces. The patch below is what I'm going to check in upstream. If you find anything interesting in arch/sparc/prom/tree.c et al. please let me know.
I has a look through it but since it works for both my SS1 and SS2, it would seem that this is a problem that is specific to the SMP system. In some Solaris source I found on the web, there are some odd comments about the OBP locking to an specific processor, resulting in prom calls from other processors entering a never ending spin-lock. Maybe it could be related to this.
