Hi pa-ckers
Just a quick failure report, I tested git head + jejb's zonelist patch
on my A500 (gcc-4.2) and it hpmc'd the box (afaict) very early during
bootup. I'll dig that more ASAP.
Kyle eventually spotted the offending patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kyle/parisc-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=bd3bb8c15b9a80dbddfb7905b237a4a11a4725b4;hp=492c2e476eac010962850006c49df326919b284c

So I don't understand how __HEAD works...and all the other arches are
using ".text.head" (not .head.text) which has corresponding "code" in
their vmlinux.lds. Could someone kindly point out how .head.text
works for parisc?
Yeah, my fault (no idea why it worked for me???).
I see two options:
1) revert my patch (gets to linker warnings and have to build up a new
patch, ideally adding a section for .text.head to vmlinux.lds.S),
2) apply the attached patch.
Opinions?
