That is a collection of patches - if you read the README file you'll see
a list of each patch included. Each patch id is in the form XXXXXX-YY
where XXXXXX is the patch id and YY is the revision. You can compare
each one against the revision shown in "showrev -p" output. (Or you can
use one of the tools from the SunSolve website like PatchDiag or
PatchPro to make this easier and more automated.)
