With this patch I can boot UP, log in, etc.  I get did one compile 
error in arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c, saying that the structure 'c' didn't
have a member named 'processor' - sure looks like it does to me.

Did this patch work for you in the UP case?  If not I suspect our 
hardware may be slightly different.  I'll attach my config just in case. 
I'll try SMP tomorrow - getting late here.
