In order to avoid such situations in the future, perhaps it would make 
sense to add a comment in thread_info.h stating spar64's dependency on 
the size of the restart_block?

Also, I noticed the following embedded in the definition of the 
structure, does enabling this option also break sparc64 builds?

#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
			struct compat_timespec __user *compat_rmtp;
#endif

Thanks,
