Willy,
heh - should I add?
	#warning Randolph will fix profile support

that's what I was thinking too. Maybe broken for 64-bit only.

I compared the above 2.6 to 2.4 code and 2.6 looks right to me.
I haven't tested 64-bit on c3k before and there might be
some porting issue there with calling PDC in wide mode.

I would agree except when I worked this out for 2.4 it was right
and it worked.

parisc_setup_hcb() is not quite the equivalent to sym_get_nvram().
The problem is we have to force sym2 driver to program the chip to run
in narrow mode and np->maxwide is the only way I've found to
do that. AFAICT, nvram settings have no influence on width.

I don't since I think it's mostly right as is.
I'll try again with a 32-bit kernel (and newer compiler) and report back.

thanks,
