Can anyone think why Linus isn't applying this patch? He won't tell
me what's wrong with it, and I'm getting frustrated by the silence.
Add two new sysctls. The first one handles the soft-power switch
and the second describes what to do when we get an unaligned trap.

Not a clue, the only thing I can think of is that Linus might
like other people to look at the patch before applying it...
Linus, Matthew's patch only adds some (PA-RISC conditional)
sysctls to the kernel and is otherwise harmless. Safe to apply.
cheers,

FYI, Linus hasn't taken my set of (BK) changes yet, so I don't think
there's anything specific (anti-BK or otherwise) about not taking
patches at the moment.

Perhaps that soft-power thingie should be done in a generic way? Any
modern pc has soft-power, too...
