While I suppose it's a parisc patch, I'm not going to try to push it
unless either Linus just applies it, or we get

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

Don't do it like this.

Anyway, it's easy to do (if a slightly larger diff) ... I have to move
