Subject: [GIT PULL] parisc fixes for 3.8-rc7

This is a couple of patches, one to fix a broken build with HPUX
compatibility and the other to solve a coherency problem we've been
seeing in our TLB where setting a page read only occasionally fails to
trigger a COW because of a stale writeable TLB entry.

The patches are here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/parisc-2.6.git parisc-fixes

The short changelog is:

Geert Uytterhoeven (1):
      hpux: Remove obsolete regs parameter from do_execve() in hpux_execve()

John David Anglin (1):
      Purge existing TLB entries in set_pte_at and ptep_set_wrprotect

and the diffstat:
