I believe no one has investigated this issue since my last comment.
Someone with time and interest in Solaris needs to step up to debug
this problem.

DTrace inside the guest and QEMU tracing (see docs/tracing.txt) are
good tools for figuring out what is going on in the Solaris device
driver and QEMU's hardware emulation, respectively.

If you know a previous QEMU version where a network device works under
Solaris you could use git-bisect(1) to find the commit that broke
Solaris. From what you've said though, it seems the issue is with new
Solaris kernels rather than changes in QEMU.
