Request for review (M): 6812587: Use auxv to determine SPARC hardware features on Solaris

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Changes look good. Did you verify it on Solaris 9 at least?
My U3 workstation is running Solaris 9.

vm_version_sparc.hpp:
typo in the comment:
!     // Temporary until whave something more accurate

vm_version_solaris_sparc.cpp:
I would remove ", using it" and ", using old legacy code":
!       tty->print_cr("getisax(2) supported, using it.");
!       tty->print_cr("getisax(2) not supported, using old legacy code.");
