Hi Sebastian,

My experience with SPARC is purely related to legacy emulation and so I 
haven't really looked at LEON3 in much detail which makes it tricky for 
me to review.

Having said that, I'm definitely of the opinion that we should try and 
apply patches that people find useful where possible. If other people 
can provide Reviewed-by tags and as long as it doesn't break any of my 
existing images then I'd be willing to do that.

(Note that running through a set of tests can take some time, so this is 
something I only generally do every few weeks).

Peter - as soon as the openbios.git repository updates on git.qemu.org 
then I need to run through the test suite again, so that would be a good 
chance to test it from my perspective. I am assuming that since the 
patch was submitted before freeze then it's still a candidate for this 
release?


ATB,

Mark.
