[parisc-linux] Shifting to kernel 2.2.12

[Alex deVries]

There's a few reasons to go to a newer kernel version, so I spent the
last day working on shifting the kernel to 2.2.12, which was a very
large pain.

To ease the overall load on developers, I'm going to do merge up all the
patches as of Wednesday, Sept. 8 at midnight GMT.

Right now my kernel builds properly, boots and dies in ipl_c.c, but I'll
figure out why exactly.

Please, keep your changes to non-architecture specific portions to the
kernel to a minimum.  It makes merging difficult.
