I've tested a box running two Marvell based 8-port controllers (which has
been running great on Update 2) on the solaris Update 3 beta without
issues.  The specific card is the newer version of the SuperMicro board:

but have yet to test them under the released Update 3 code.  I'll post a
followup after the box is upgraded or re-installed.  [I'm waiting for the
next 48-hour day so that I can do the upgrade without affecting the user
community!!]

AFAIR the reported Marvell issues were with ON B54 - not Update 3.  Or do
I have this wrong?

In any case, if you discover a bug with the Sun proprietary Marvell driver
and Update 3 and you have a support contract, you can log a service
request and get it fixed.  Since the Marvell chipset is used in Thumper,
I think its a pretty safe bet that the Marvell driver will continue to
work very nicely (Thanks Lori).

And yes, I would feel better if this driver was open sourced.... but that
is Suns' decision to make.
