Subject: [GIT PULL] parisc architecture fixes for v6.4-rc1

Hi Linus,

please pull the parisc architecture updates and fixes for 6.4-rc1:

Two important fixes in here:
* The argument pointer register was wrong when calling 64-bit firmware
  functions, which may cause random memory corruption or crashes.
* Ensure page alignment in cache flush functions, otherwise not all
  memory might get flushed.

The other patches are cleanups (mmap implementation, panic path) and
usual smaller updates.

All patches, with the execption of the argument pointer patch, have been
in stable since weeks. I rebased to fix a small conflict in the
docs to make pulling easier for you.

Thanks,
Helge
