But without my patch, I failed to (cross-)compile kvm/ia64.

So for a few months, kvm/ia64 was broken in that sense, I guess.

I hope we would have more chance to know in which version kvm/ia64 works!
From my side, I'm sometimes worried whether my patches made something
bad for kvm/ia64, hopefully not of course.

Thanks,
