Hm?  I don't know where you're getting that from.  Let's talk numbers.

Of the 60525 lines in .c files in arch/i386, 460 are longer than 80 cols.
Of the 67398 lines in .c files in arch/ia64, 1189 are longer than 80 cols.
Of the 496510 lines in .c files in drivers/net, 4044 are longer than 80 cols.

So arch/i386 has 0.76% > 80 column lines, drivers/net is 0.81% and
arch/ia64 is 1.76%.  Seems fairly convincing to me that ia64 is out of
step with the rest of Linux.
