I know T1,2 crypto is well supported in SunSSH.
And I am not sure if that support is somehow killed in recent movements 
in OpenSSH in illumos.
I suppose they are at illumos trying to kill SPARC hardware crypto 
support together with this OpenSSH movements.
I have this document saying few things about Opensolaris SPARC T 
hardware crypto inclusioin, with clearly saying some very similar things 
as on illumos lists.
