Don't do it like this.
We don't want some stupid useless weak function that is empty on all sane
platforms.
Just do
.. declare or create an inline 'parisc_function_descriptor()' ..
#define dereference_function_descriptor(p) parisc_function_descriptor(p)
in some arch header file. And then use
#ifndef dereference_function_descriptor
#define dereference_function_descriptor(p) (p)
#endif
in the generic code, so that sane architectures don't need to do anything
at all.
