Hi,

Some of the parport/paride drivers need this patch in order to compile
for Alpha with CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_ALPHA_GENERIC:

--- kernel-source-2.2.15/include/asm-alpha/smp.h~ Sun Apr 23 17:21:46 2000
+++ kernel-source-2.2.15/include/asm-alpha/smp.h Sun Apr 23 18:01:15 2000
@@ -3,6 +3,7 @@
 
 #ifdef __SMP__
 
+#include <linux/sched.h> /* for struct task_struct */
 #include <linux/tasks.h>
 #include <asm/init.h>
 #include <asm/pal.h>

This is because they use udelay(), which uses smp_processor_id(),
which dereferences current. Anything else that uses
smp_processor_id() might potentially have the same problem.

Cheers
