Does someone test it at least infrequently? Or are there users? There were a few changes recently due to cleanups and/or switches to upstream code. There will be more in the future. And at some point heavy work will be needed when there are no more qemu-kvm* files. That could be a point ia64 breaks forever unless someone jumps in. BTW, I'm also carrying ia64 bits in kvm-kmod. I never compiled them (except for the "make headers_install" which throws tons of warnings at me), I'm just keeping them for now to enforce architecture separation in case someone once wishes to add another arch to this wrapper.
