Subject: [RESEND PATCH] sysctl: Enable PARISC "unaligned-trap" to be used cross-arch
Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2013 12:29:48 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357196388-1247-2-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1357196388-1247-1-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com>

PARISC defines /proc/sys/kernel/unaligned-trap to runtime toggle
unaligned access emulation.

The exact mechanics of enablig/disabling are still arch specific, we can
make the sysctl usable by other arches.
