[pca] Fun with entitlement again

[Don O'Malley]

Hi,

Unfortunately I don't have any confirmation on the pricing structure for 
the support plans, so all I can suggest for now is that you contact your 
local sales rep.
Sorry, I don't have anything more concrete to share here.

I can however confirm that once you have purchased hardware support (i.e 
an Oracle Premium System Plan), that you will have access to all 
hardware patches (not just hardware patches applicable to your specific 
machine), along with Solaris support.

HTH,
-Don
