Add SPARCv9 support?

Hi Kernel Devs! 


I'm interested in adding SPARCv9 support to the kernel? 

Because of the SMP optimization of Dragonfly, I want to run this operating system on top of a new many-core chip I'm designing. 

The design is derived from a framework called OpenPiton, and they've already adapted the Linux kernel to suit their needs. 

Links to the project and their adapted kernel below:

Please let me know what would be required! Thank you. 


Best,
