It won't help you. The additions are mostly backported from what SPARC-BSD
developers had done with/to Xorg (now in main Xorg git), if I recall it
correctly. I had also looked into that, back then.
If you really want to get bus scanning working on a new platform target, then
you must (exclusively) add the right code to .../bus/sparcPci.c.
Do you remember? You had asked me if you could help me with my work of
enhancing SPARC-FOX. I had responded, well, you could help me with your Ultra45
as bus scanning test machine (via the web). Afterwards you had stopped
responding.

These tags had been in XFree86's CVS for many months (over a year). But those
bold words can only be tracked back to minimalistic src diffs. You will be
disappointed. The src at www.martux.org/xorg will be a better starting point
for your project.

No, it does have IIIi, not IV.

If the bus scanning (sparcPci.c) would be ported, then yes.
Much luck with that.
