Done. I've submitted the output for HPPA boxes running 32 and 64-bit
kernels. Looks like they pass without any problem. I'll pass on the
test results for an older 715/50 box (the other boxes were an A500 and
C3K).
Secondly, I will open a big can a whoopass on anyone else I see
complaining about /dev/mem reading without providng a patch >:)
Branden is merely asking you to _test_ something.
