<td>sparc64: no serial console on fhc(4) based machines</td>
<td>&status.wip;</td>

<td>Now that ofw_console(4) is disabled by default on sparc64, certain
machines, like the E4x00 don't have a serial console anymore. These
machines typically have a fhc(4) bus, onto which the serial ports
attach. The fix is two-fold: 1) properly add decoding of the fhc(4)
bus addresses for low-level consoles and 2) have puc(4) attach to the
fhc(4) bus. Patches are being tested.</td>
