My case and my analysis talked about UP kernel, and John David Anglin
made a patch:
	http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=561203#144

After that, the discussion went to SMP cases.

It would be better to evaluate the patch again, and make sure it works
for UP case and fix failures of buildd, then apply for Linux in Debian
(only) for HPPA.

I know that the patch is not that ideal because it touches
architecture independent part of Linux, but it is worth for Linux in
Debian (or Linux for the HPPA machine of buildd, at least).
