Ongoing to try to apply it against 2.6.[45] and encounter very early a pb
which seems to be solved by following patch:
--- include/asm-parisc/smp.h.orig	2004-01-28 08:24:41.000000000 +0100
+++ include/asm-parisc/smp.h	2004-03-19 11:34:04.078456992 +0100

=========><=========

Is it correct?

But using c3k config and adding smp support to 2.6.5-rc1, I encounter this
ld pb:

Any idea? (the same kernel 2.6.5-rc1 + same patches but with a500 config
+smp compiles well :) )

Thanks in advance,
