"However AFAIK the hardware can't handle DMA addresses located above
 1GB. Since sparc64 uses DVMA and if the DVMA address is higher than
 1GB it wouldn't work at all."

FWIW, I have a Blade 100 running OpenBSD and sound works fine there
with OpenBSD's autri(4) driver.  I don't see any provisions for
dealing with such an address limit in the driver, so I doubt the
claim above.
