I'm not sure if parisc is already fully supported with that tool, or
if I'm doing something wrong:

root@...ian:~# uname -a
Linux debian 6.8.0-rc1-32bit+ #1292 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb  1 11:31:38 CET 2024 parisc GNU/Linux

KeyError: 'worker_pool_idr'

Maybe you have an idea? I'll check further, but otherwise it's probably
easier for me to add some printk() to the kernel function wq_update_pod()
and send that info?
