Re: [Linux-ia64] Clean up IA32 support a little...

Peter-

This seems reasonable to me.

About module support, I haven't really given that a thought although
it might be a good idea.  Especially as the need for IA32 support
drops off it would make sense to provide this as a module, just in
case.  I'll add this to the ToDo list.
