Is the OI151 kernel going to be updated anytime soon?
Alternatively, if I have an OI151a4 machine running well on a SuperMicro
machine, is there another Illumos distro I could move to w/o too much pain?

sure looks like it does this in Illumos, though I don't think the OI
kernel in 151a4 is that new [OI IllumOS kernel is dated April 2012,
that patch went into IllumOS early May].
