This is true, but there is a large chunk of iBCS code still under
the sparc archictecture under solaris.  This code is not linked
into the putpmsg or getpmsg syscalls, but is still distributed with
the kernel.  As it is unused, will this code be removed?  Or, has it
already been removed in 2.5 kernels?
