Subject: [GIT PULL] parisc architecture fixes for v6.4-rc4

Hi Linus,

please pull the parisc architecture fixes and updates for 6.4-rc4:

Quite a bunch of real bugfixes in here and most of them are tagged for
backporting: A fix for cache flushing from irq context, a kprobes & kgdb
breakpoint handling fix, and a fix in the alternative code patching
function to take care of CPU hotplugging.

parisc now provides LOCKDEP support and comes with a lightweight spinlock
check. Both features helped me to find the cache flush bug.

Additionally writing the AGP gatt has been fixed, the machine allows the
user to reboot after a system halt and arch_sync_dma_for_cpu() has been
optimized for PCXL PCUs.

Thanks,
Helge
