You are printing the address of the ia64 function descriptor, not the
function itself.

        printf("&my_printf is at 0x%llx.\n", &my_printf);
	printf("my_printf is at 0x%llx.\n", ((unsigned long *)(&my_printf))[0]);

&my_printf is at 0x40000000000009f0.
my_printf is at 0x4000000000000690.
disinfo is at 0x6000000000000dd8.
Hello World
