I don't immediately see it, but an easy thing to try would be to
disable CONFIG_HIGHMEM. I don't know what the limits are
on sparc, but you can often change the virtual address layout
to reserve enough space for mapping all of the physical memory,
as e.g. CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G does on x86 or arm.

There is also some discussion about eventually removing highmem
support from the kernel entirely.
