IA64 function pointers do not point to the function, instead they point
to a descriptor area which contains data about the function, including
its real address. If you are calling direct to the address in ksyms
then you are bypassing the function descriptor and r1 will contain an
incorrect value. Also make sure that your modules are compiled with
the correct options, compile an existing module and copy the flags.
