Someone(tm) sent me SX docs, but it's unclear if making them public
will get them in trouble. I doubt Oracle still cares about 1990s
hardware docs but ... it's Oracle.
So for now there's sys/arch/sparc/dev/sxreg.h for registers and
instructions, and sys/arch/sparc/dev/cgfourteen.c and
xsrc/mit/xf86-video-suncg14/dist/src/cg14_accel.c and cg14_render.c for
prior art on using it.

have fun
