This case deprecates use of LDOM variable "pci-mem64?" to enable or disable PCI MEM64 support for future SPARC platforms. This case also deprecates "openboot" MD node property called "pci-mem64-support". Both of them were introduced by FWARC/2007/079. The Rainbow Falls based platforms will use Solaris S10U9 as a base Solaris release. This release of Solaris fully supports PCI MEM64 memory space and hence the workaround to a Solaris issue is no longer required for Rainbow Falls based platforms. This will also be true for all future SPARC platform releases and hence the above mentioned variable and the MD node property is not needed anymore.
