Hi Martin,
Build changes must be reviewed by the build team - now cc'd
Thanks for forwarding David, I can't keep up with all the lists to find
these unless posted to build-dev.

Could I get a code review for the following bug:
JDK-8165482 java in ldoms, with cpu-arch=generic has problems
Webrev of the changes is available here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mwalsh/JDK-8165482/
What is the devinfo library? Is it part of the normal Solaris
installation, or does it need to be installed specifically? Is it
available in our official build toolkits?
I did a bit of digging. It's part "system/libraries" so should be pretty
standard. That package is in the devkit and I verified that
libdevinfo.so is there too.
Configure change looks fine. Just remember to also push the closed
generated-configure.sh as David said.

Will checking the prom prior to using kstat change any of the values
we currently see? (other than the generic case being fixed of course).
It shouldn't, as SPARC64 seems to be reserved for Fujitsu SPARC
machines. However, to air on the side of caution I will investigate
further and follow-up shortly.
So, after further deliberation I have decided that although utilising
the PROM may work on some occasions, it is not the correct solution.
All Oracle SPARC LDOMS use the "sun4-cpu" string as the CPU
implementation, therefore I think the best short term fix is to add an
additional match that checks for this string. Long term, this could do
with a re-write, but that is a JDK10 project.
This updated fix also means there are no build changes.
Updated the webrev accordingly.
