insmod works fine on ia64 as well.  The problem they tripped over was that 
ksymoops running native on ia64 and using /proc/ksyms failed, while a 
running ksymoops on ia32 (cross debug mode) with ia64 debug info and 
System.map worked fine.

ismod uses the descriptor address (which ia64 currently puts in 
/proc/ksyms), while ksymoops requires the code address.
