I can have a look later (unless somebody beat me to it). I am not even
sure this whole ia64 weirdness is useful these days.

It is my slight preference to have this patch smaller to be easier to
review and therefore I have removed all parts in a follow up. If a

Will fix it up.

yeah, I will postpone that to a later follow ups.
