See PSARC/2006/501 (sparc newboot support, fast track
timeout Aug 7, 2007)

Given 2006/501, why would we want to allow this case
to be approved with the restriction I quoted above?
Am I missing something?

Please remove the restriction from the materials,
including updating the section 4 example data flow which
is currently x86 specific.
