a chunck containing debian-configs (I call it 00_parisc_debian-configs.patch)

arch/parisc, include/asm-parisc and another noticed "parisc specific" [about
160k]

Just more some small changes of mine (matching as near as possible changes
of other platform) to obtain a bootable 32bits kernel for my b2k (and its
