Hi Kieran,

   I attempted to build this on ia64 and ran into several issues:

drivers/net/sfc/txc43128_phy.c:txc43128_phy_check_hw()
	doesn't build w/o CONFIG_SRC_DEBUGFS - not ia64 specific

drivers/net/sfc/sfc_resource/falcon.c
	has warnings using %llx for uint64_t

drivers/xen/sfc_netback/accel_solarflare.c:get_victim_filter()
	uses x86 specific rdtscl(), apparently for random number

drivers/xen/sfc_netfront/sysdep.h
	ef_vi_dma_addr_t undefined for ia64 w/ GNUC (the default)

sfc_netfront and sfc_netback apparently both define max_pages and
debugfs_create_u64(), making it impossible to build them both
statically.

Thanks,

	Alex
