Out of curiosity. Do you know what the current progress with the
publication
of the patches for LDOM control support on Linux are? I have seen that
Oracle
Linux now ships the LDOM utilities, so I assume that it is possible to
run
Oracle Linux in the control domain. But since the sources are missing for
the LDOM packages in OL, it's not yet possible to package it for Debian.
It would be really nice to have Debian running in the control domain,
currently we're still running Solaris there on the SPARC T5 we have.

I do not know offhand the state of any ldom control support patches. It
is definitely possible to run linux in the control domain, I've seen it
being done. I hope they plan on sharing the sources for that.
