Build results:

Qemu test results:

The only issue left in my testing is the warning in nosmp parisc code.

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at fs/sysfs/group.c:115 internal_create_group+0x360/0x394

This problem is fixed in linux-next with
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220401203114.348053-1-deller@gmx.de/
which should hopefully find its way into mainline soon.
