My bisection led to the folloowing commit but it seems irrelevant (I 
have no sun4v on these machines):

4ccb9272892c33ef1c19a783cfa87103b30c2784 is the first bad commit

    sparc64: sun4v TLB error power off events


However, the following chunk sound slightly suspicious:

+       if (fault_code & FAULT_CODE_BAD_RA)
+               goto do_sigbus;
+

because SIGNUS is what I got. For some machines, it killed chekroot 
during startup, for some shells under some circumstances, for some sshd.
