I was talking to David privately, and he pointed out that either
2.4 patch (the one willy posted, or the one david posted) applied
to a kernel w/o the streamlined syscall path patch will allow his
test to succeed.

From David:
  "Actually, now that I think about it, the test is fine.  Using the
   patch that works with a stream-lined syscall-path patch also will work
   with an unpatched kernel (just a bit slower than strictly necessary).
   It's the reverse that wouldn't work, but that's not a case that you
   tested."

At what point did the streamlined syscall path go into a 2.4-ia64 release?
