I don't think it's the driver.

lseek64 must be getting redirected to lseek().
Linux kernel only supports "lseek".
See "struct file_operations" in include/linux/fs.h.

loff_t is a 64-bit type.
include/linux/types.h:typedef __kernel_loff_t           loff_t;
include/asm/posix_types.h:typedef long long             __kernel_loff_t;

Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit kernel?
I want to know if arch/parisc/kernel/sys_parisc32.c might be the problem.
