    Hi!

    Similar to [1], I would like to ask to add basic support for sh3
    in the Linux kernel package so that we can start bootstrapping this architecture in rebootstrap.

    The motivation is that sh3 is expected to be support by the J-Core
    open source CPU in the near future [2] which is fully compatible
    with the existing SuperH SH-3 architecture which has already
    partial support in Debian due to previous efforts before the SuperH
    port in Debian switched over to sh4 [3].

    Attaching a patch against the linux source package in experimental.

    Thanks,
    Adrian
