I don't see any traces of it in the tree.

I think that the old version of the patch doesn't work with
the current tree because just skipping ia64_mca_init() won't
work now. You'd still call mca_late_init() which would do
a few bad things not realizing that ia64_mca_init() hadn't
been called to prepare stuff.
