I pulled your cpu-hp-cleanup branch from git://linux-arm.org/linux-qy
and compiled a 32- and a 64-bit parisc kernel.

I faced one compile warning:
linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c: In function ‘hibernation_bringup_sleep_cpu’:
linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:1237:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]

Other than that the 32- and 64-bit SMP kernel booted nicely.
You may add to the series:
Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@....de>   # parisc

Thanks,
Helge
