AFAIK, it only really ever worked with tmm's patches at
http://people.freebsd.org/~tmm/sio-s64-*
but which he stopped updating after uart(4) was commited which was better
suited to work on sparc64. Therefor sio(4) was removed from the sparc64
GENERIC kernel and sio_ebus.c deleted. I thought these two sio(4) files
in files.sparc64 were just a leftover. Thomas?
