According to the docs:
http://www.thepuffingroup.com/parisc/hp9000_models.html

the 922 is the same physical machine as the 822.  As such, it's too old
for it to be worth supporting.  the official statement is...

The earliest PA-RISC servers have proprietary HP devices attached to
proprietary HP bus architectures. It is unlikely that documentation
on these busses and devices will ever become available, since so few
people are interested in spending any effort finding and releasing the
docs. Machines in this category are the E, F, G, H, I class (aka Nova)
and T500 series (Emerald) machines as well as some earlier, unlettered
servers.

I should perhaps update this to reflect the particular model numbers.
