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.
