Is this in a different queue than what is in linux next?

It would be nice to see such build fixes get into linux-next
ASAP, so folks doing multi-arch coverage builds on their work
can know if they've introduced a regression.  At the moment,
the parisc builds in linux-next have been worthless for over
six months, and I'm sure I'm not the 1st one to waste time
"re-solving" old bugs like this.

Thanks,
Paul.
