At PSARC today, this was let run, because of the question of quiesce(9e)
support. PSARC would like to see either the project team agree to
implement quiesce(9e) or a written statement from the Fast Reboot team
clarifying that quiesce() is not needed for this project.
(Note that while I understand the project title indicates SPARC, earlier
discussion has revealed that this project also shares code with x86. I
personally believe the quiesce question is more germane to x86 at the
moment, but I'm not sure if that is tantamount to granting a blanket
waiver for SPARC drivers.)
The same questions can also be made of DDI_SUSPEND and DDI_RESUME,
though I perceive that there is less urgency here (given that this is
intended for server products).
As a final personal note, I expect that if the project team simply
agrees to implement both suspend/resume and quiesce, that this case will
be approved with no further objections.
