Well, once it's working I think this will be okay for our team.
Thanks,

It might look something like this (though now that I've looked at it, it
seems
we could use an early option parser for ia64). I've tried to add a 'nomca'
boot option that you can pass to the kernel to avoid registering the MCA
handlers with the firmware. This kernel builds and boots for me w/o the
'nomca' option, but on sn2 it hangs at boot if I pass 'nomca'. Jesse
