I *think* all that's needed is atomic64 emulation.  I had written a
patch implementing them, but it utterly failed to compile for most
architectures.  If I didn't have to worry about userspace or the
opensolaris atomic64 emulation, it wouldn't be too difficult.  Anyone
else wants a crack at it, feel free.
