The patch below does not apply to the 6.1-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm

Right, it does not apply, and does NOT need to be backported.
Are you sure?
I ask because:
Fixes: fe76a1349f23 ("parisc: Use natural CPU alignment for bug_table")
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v6.0+
Both of those lines imply that yes, it should be backported. Are they
incorrect?
Oh, I added a wrong "Fixes:" tag in the upstream commit. Instead it should be:
Fixes: 43266838515d ("parisc: Reduce size of the bug_table on 64-bit kernel by half")
but this commit was originally not tagged for stable series.
I see Sasha pulled it nevertheless into stable-rc series, together with this commit
here: "parisc: Fix asm operand number out of range build error in".
So, either we keep both (as it is currently in stable-rc), or we drop both:
* parisc: Reduce size of the bug_table on 64-bit kernel by half
* parisc: Fix asm operand number out of range build error in
I'm fine with either option.
