OK, S/390 is easy.

For PS/2, how does the CPU identify itself? If you have to remove the
slock_t definition from the port include file then presumably it does
identify itself as one of the already supported CPUs (alpha, arm, ia64,
i386, mips, ppc, sparc, s390), right? Or does some other default setting
get used that you then #undef in that include file?

A few more details would probably let someone reproduce your result,
which would be enough to consider this as a supported platform. That is,
as long as you aren't running the only PlayStation 2 in the world with
Linux?? Heck, on second thought we'd consider it supported even so ;)
