Well I already create:
a chunck containing debian-configs (I call it 00_parisc_debian-configs.patch)

another chunk containing all parisc specific (named 01_parisc.patch) containing
arch/parisc, include/asm-parisc and another noticed "parisc specific" [about
160k]

Just more some small changes of mine (matching as near as possible changes
of other platform) to obtain a bootable 32bits kernel for my b2k (and its
fameous ide cdrom) and a b180L :)
