Hmm, it seems the convention changed such that platforms aren't
supposed to invoke do_softirq() from their trap return trap any more.
It's handled completely by irq_exit().

When did that start happening? :-)

Anyways I bet that's the problem, sparc64 invokes do_softirq() in it's
trap return path if softirqs are pending, and that doesn't do any
of the RCU frobbing you mention.
