r26 is arg0, r25 is arg1, and so on.
I'm not sure I would call this "sorted backwards".
I think the reason is simply that hppa is the only 32-bit big-endian
arch left...

I appreciate such cleanups to make arches consistent.
But it's bad if breakages aren't noticed or reported then...

Agreed (assuming we have really a problem on parisc).

The patch looks good at first sight.
I'll pick it up in my parisc git tree and will do some testing the
next few days and then push forward for 6.11 when it opens....
Thank you!!
