sparc has a 'btext' font used for the console which is almost identical
to the shared font_sun8x16, so use it rather than duplicating the data.
They were actually identical until about a decade ago when
commit bcfbeecea11c ("drivers: console: font_: Change a glyph from
"broken bar" to "vertical line"")
which changed the | in the shared font to be a solid
bar rather than a broken bar. That's the only difference.
This was originally spotted by PMD which noticed that PPC does
the same thing with the same data, and they also share a bunch
of functions to manipulate the data.
Tested very lightly with a boot without FS in qemu.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
