Subject: [Linux-ia64] kernel make install - why don't we make it easy like on ia32?

I was wondering why the ia32 style of installing boot stuff like 
/boot/vmlinuz that done in:

	arch/i386/boot/Makefile
and
	arch/i386/boot/install.sh

isn't being done for ia64. 

I'm thinking of makeing a few tweaks to the ia32 version to copy 
kernel stuff to /boot and /boot/efi. I've been using a hack on the 
top level kernel Makefile but it's a hack to do it there. The ia32 
paradigm seems fine; so why isn't it done for ia64. Even after 
applying the ia64 patch to linux-2.4.18, a 'make install' in the 
top level kernel Makefile still breaks.

What gives?
