Ben,
I might be able to give it a try, but I'm not sure if I'm able to boot
that kernel on my parisc box. Kernel 3.9 was basically the first one
which was run basically stable on parisc, but since then we had
some ABI changes in userspace (reduced SIGRTMIN, made
EWOULDBLOCK == EAGAIN) which might prevent me to boot that
kernel with current glibc.
Anyway, can you point me to your patches ?
