Oh, OK.  The patch I have doesn't add a clear_pages function to ia64 at
all, so I'm not sure what's supposed to be going on.

It almost looks like we lost great chunks of that patch somewhere along the

Oh well, I'll drop it for now.  Christoph, could you please double-check
everything (including the x86 mmx thing) and resend?
