parisc probably does compile in mainline these days. It's certainly much closer than it ever was before. The 64-bit code doesn't compile because Andi keeps blocking the is_compat_task() stuff. Why not do the netdevice compat_ioctl patch before killing this? I'd hate to have to back out this patch in the PA tree.
