No, but I believe that driver is installed under
i86pc so it's not loaded in i86xpv.

You can cp the capd* drivers and conf file (if there is one)
from /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/[amd64/] to
/platform/i86xpv/kernel/drv/[amd64/], do a bootadm update-archive,
devfsadm -i <driver-name>, and I believe it will work fine.

The is a bug to move this driver to /kernel/drv,
but unfortunately, due to the gate that it's
in, it's not trivial.
