I.e. for the Schizo UPA-to-PCI bridge and the Tomatillo JBus-to-PCI
bridge. Documentation on the JBus itself is also sparse.
Don't know if it helps to persuade them to hand out documentation but
you could mention that FreeBSD actually boots on USIII hardware up to
the point where this documentation is now required:
http://people.freebsd.org/~jake/dmesg.v480

Other documentation/datasheets nice to have:
- Cassini and Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers
- SUNW,lom, SUNW,lomh, SUNW,lomv, etc. devices
- pmu device
- Firehose devices (ac, clock-board, environment, sram, ...)

Documentation nice to have but we can probably live without it:
- SUNW,bbc-i2c, SUNW,envctrl, SUNW,envctrtwo, SUNW,rasctrl, etc.,
  especially about how to control the fans
- acpi-power device

Thanks for your efforts!
