parisc has a different prototype for ptrace in that it passes the
pid as pid_t, not as long.  This doesn't matter on 32bit architectures
because both are 32bit, but it's different for 64bit kernel.

OTOH I've heard 64bit parisc userland is mostly non-existant so maybe
we could still fix this, greatly simplifying a later ptrace
consolidation.
