This is an FAQ, unfortunately.  The driver is a long was from being
conformant to the FreeBSD BUSDMA api.  Until that is fixed, it has
absolutely no chance of working on sparc64 in particular, nor on an
i386 or amd64 machine with more than 4GB of RAM (doesn't matter how
much RAM with sparc64, it simply won't work at all).
