You would probably be the most competent person to do this since you own
the port.

Let's all storm Intel's doors and demand that they send Linus a system.
I will be out there next week with Sunil and Stu Goosen, and I'll
suggest that they should send him one if they have not already. He
should have one of these systems I would think so he can evaluate the
completeness of the IA64 port and determine how he wants to handle it
BTW. Thanks for the help, I will download the fixes and test. I
finally got it building and working, but it sounds like you identified
the area and fixed them. I think everyone appreciates your efforts
here, esspecially me.
