Fine by me. I just didn't understand if Ultrasparc extensions are important
enough to make it different architecture. AFAIK, currently there is no
Ultra specific code anywhere. OTOH, SPARC64 is HAL's trademark
<URL:http://mpd.hal.com/> and it might not be acceptable category name
for that reason. On the third hand, UltraSPARC is also a trademark and
refers to a specific implementation of sparc v9 architecture.
