All ok.

BTW: I noticed that for gem(4) the link is flapping excessively
during boot. This is not caused by the patch; just something I
noticed now:

	...
gem0: link state changed to DOWN
gem0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu  
1500
	options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
	ether 00:03:93:a8:cc:16
	media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
	status: no carrier
Additional routing options:.
Starting devd.
bge0: link state changed to DOWN
gem0: link state changed to UP
Waiting 30s for an interface to come up: gem0: link state changed to  
DOWN
....gem0: link state changed to UP
...............gem0: link state changed to DOWN
.(gem0)
Additional IP options:.
Mounting NFS file systems:gem0: link state changed to UP
mount_nfs: nfs: hostname nor servname provided, or not known
.
	...

Do you see this on sparc64 as well?
