Hi all,

The snv_122 push of:

 6858457 Remove Solaris support for UltraSPARC-AT10 processor

removes support for UltraSPARC-AT10 processor in Nevada and constitutes
a Flag day for SPARC incremental nightly builds.

If you run incremental builds after pulling in these changes, you will
see nightly cpio errors similar to :

~---------
Failed to create sun4v root archive:    25660 blocks
cpiotranslate: platform/sun4v/kernel/cpu/sparcv9/SUNW,UltraSPARC-AT10: no packaging info
cpiotranslate: platform/sun4v/kernel/pcbe/sparcv9/pcbe.SUNW,UltraSPARC-AT10: no packaging info

~----------

The fix is to remove the above SUNW,UltraSPARC-AT10 & pcbe.SUNW,UltraSPARC-AT10
modules from your proto area -OR- do a clobber nightly.

With this push, the kernel cpu module - SUNW,UltraSPARC-AT10,
kernel pcbe module - pcbe.SUNW,UltraSPARC-AT10 and UltraSPARC-AT10 specific support is removed.

The following Bugster product/category/subcategories are also retired -
