Meta-comment, do we really care about Alpha anymore?  Is it still
consered an "active" arch we support?  I haven't seen a single
alpha-related stable patch in _years_ if at all, which implies to me
that no one is even using it.

Not that stable patches for architectures are a valid reference for how
much they are used, but it does give me a good indication of what arches
have users that actually care about a modern (i.e. within the past 5
years) kernel.

thanks,
