QEMU/SPARC64 Solaris 11.1 boot on 4096/8192MB config

After enabling the QEMU 256MB pagesize for sparc64, we have some progress on MD configurations with more than 1024MB of memory. Solaris 11 boots, but in contrast to Solaris 10, it is extremely slow: init on 11.1 has to bring up ~260 modules (::modinfo), which takes hours of boot time. The whole saga is covered in the previous two posts.
