Sorry about that -- I should have tried harder to get someone to test this 
one, since parisc is one of the architectures for which I don't have a 
cross-compiler.

The .exit.text change looks fine.

Rather than adding a new definition in asm-offsets.c, I think it'll be 
better to do something like the following to make the normal THREAD_SIZE 
definition available in the linker script and other assembly files:

parisc: Make THREAD_SIZE available to assembly files and linker scripts.
