Ah, that bug.  Been a while indeed.  My R10K IP28 is in the closet and R10K
O2, last time I tried a kernel, hated me rather fantastically.

The Octane, on the other hand, partially boots now in 3.14.1.  At least, I
can get to a working Odyssey console w/ SCSI, keyboard, and even the mouse
looks to work.  Still fighting the IOC3 over RTC interrupts, and SCSI is
abysmally slow (too many interrupts, I think -- ~4MB/sec r/w).  But it works
again.  No serial, RAD1, Impact or SMP yet.

When I fix a few more things, I'll probably attempt to bootstrap a new
userland on it.  Current one is from 2009.  So, when that happens, I'll be
able to re-verify glibc and the R10k thing again, I guess.
