Is that intentional or a mistake? I have converted ia64 to kbuild 2.5,
ready to send the patch to Linus. But I could only test platform DIG,
all of the other platforms (HP_SIM, SGI_SN1, SGI_SN2, GENERIC) got
compile errors, even under kbuild 2.4.

I don't have time to fix up the platform code. Unless somebody can
supply patches against ia64-011128 to make all the platforms compile, I
will have to hope that the conversion for the failing platforms is
correct. OTOH, they don't work now, so why worry ;).
