Yeah, that patch doesn't work at all with my cross-compiler, and only results in

alpha-linux-gnu-ld: arch/alpha/kernel/sys_jensen.o:(.ref.data+0x58):
undefined reference to `jensen_ioread8'

because some of those 'extern inline' cases are never instantiated.

I'll look into it, we can make Jensen build again in case somebody
then gets the energy to see what causes it to not boot.
