6572827 On SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers,
one of the columns in the IO Devices section of
the output from prtdiag -v is "Type". This
reports "PCIe", "PCIx", "PCI" or "UNKN" for
each device.
The algorithm used to compute this value is
incorrect. It reports "PCI" for PCI-X leaf
devices and "UNKN" for legacy PCI devices.
There is no workaround.
