SubjectRe: 2.1.36 patch needs --new-file

It won't work on some Sparcs with some hardware without this little
patch included.

No miguel, your machine in particular has some problems with the newer
kernels, the changes you have posted in fact prevent SMP from
compiling or working on any machine on Sparc because you have no idea
what the problem is or even what the code you are patching even does.

Please don't tell people to apply quick "I don't know but this sort of
seems to fix it for me" patches like this, think about and study the
problem, and debug it correctly.
