[cfarm-users] Adding Sparc Linux host

Hello cfarm people! Thanks again for granting me access to the herd -
I've already found a bunch of issues with Zig's support of the more
exotic architectures that I and alexrp hope to fix soon.

I'm interested in validating that Zig can build from source on on 64-bit Sparc
systems, but the only Sparc machines still up are running Solaris.
Whilst getting Zig working on x64-illumos requires some workarounds,
porting it to Solaris is not viable for me at the moment; Sparc Solaris
even less so.

Unless cfarm202 comes back online, would it be possible to add another
Sparc Linux instance, possibly as an LDOM on cfarm216? I'd like this
machine specifically as it is the only existing server with support for
the Cryptographic extensions introduced on the T4, and I'd like to
investigate adding support for it in Zig's crypto library.
