I should've also *STRESS* that with all current Itanium processor
out there, including upcoming Montecito processor, no patch will
be done with this set of patch. The default value is what the
hardware has.
There are *NO* processor exist as of today (including tomorrow, and
next month, and next year) that has physical stack register other
than 96 (which is what is encoded in the instruction right now).
