Gentoo and Linux From Scratch include support for Itanium.  It is also
not too unusual to upgrade some components (especially the kernel) on
an older system when one wants newer features.

My original message was proposing to include this patch in the 3.0.y
and 3.2.y kernels available from kernel.org.  Ben made that change for
3.2.y so it will be included in 3.2.18 (unless some problem comes up
before then).  Sorry for the lack of context.

Ciao,
Jonathan
