When the sunvnet_common code was split out for use by both sunvnet and the newer ldmvsw, it was made into a static kernel library, which limits the usefulness of sunvnet and ldmvsw as loadables, since most of the real work is being done in the shared code. Also, this is simply dead code in kernels that aren't running the LDoms. This patch makes the sunvnet_common into a dynamically loadable module and makes sunvnet and ldmvsw dependent on sunvnet_common.
