Hi Rob:

I'm about 90% done on getting a preliminary version of lkcd working
for ia64. I hope to update the workspace shortly. I have to clean up
some of the changes I made to support the dump page size being smaller
that the virtual memory default page size.

I hope to work out a put today with the EFI memory reading by lcrash,
how about I send you a copy tomarrow with some of the code cleaned up and
I'll check it in after I've made sure I haven't brooken ia32.
