This patch is basically the same as commit 9d42d48 from Catalin Marinas
but adopted to the parisc architecture.

The native (64-bit) sigval_t union contains sival_int (32-bit) and sival_ptr
(64-bit). When a compat application invokes a syscall that takes a sigval_t
value (as part of a larger structure, e.g.  compat_sys_mq_notify,
compat_sys_timer_create), the compat_sigval_t union is converted to the native
sigval_t with sival_int overlapping with either the least or the most
significant half of sival_ptr, depending on endianness. When the corresponding
signal is delivered to a compat application, on big endian the current
(compat_uptr_t)sival_ptr cast always returns 0 since sival_int corresponds to
the top part of sival_ptr. This patch fixes copy_siginfo_to_user32() so that
sival_int is copied to the compat_siginfo_t structure.

Se below, I don't think this patch is needed.

Is there any actual change here? The native si_int is 32-bit already,
same as compat_int_t. I didn't think parisc needed fixing (only if it
was using si_ptr which is 64-bit on a 64-bit architecture).

Same here.
