Kernel v5.14 has various changes to optimize unaligned memory accesses,
e.g. commit 0652035a5794 ("asm-generic: unaligned: remove byteshift helpers").
Those changes break the bootloader and other places in kernel for parisc
which needs byte-wise accesses to unaligned memory.
Here is an updated patch/hack which fixes those boot problems by adding
a compiler optimization barrier. More info and background can be found in BZ:
