Maybe this will be OK.  It's PA-RISC 1.1a, a PA7000 processor like the
705/710/720/750 rather than the PA7100LC as the 712/715/etc machines have.
We have docs on the 7100 and 7300 CPUs on the website, but no docs on
the 7000.  I suspect that getting documentation on this CPU will be
low-priority; even lower priority than the HIL keyboard driver :-)
So it may work, but don't be surprised if it doesn't.
