Looks like arch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.c throws a BUILD_BUG
if sizeof(struct upid) != 32.

Your patch reduced the size of struct upid, which is a nice
thing, but now IA64 no longer builds.

Lets see what IA64 was doing with the size of struct upid
in the first place:

in arch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.c:

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂBUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(struct upid) != 32);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂDEFINE(IA64_UPID_SHIFT, 5);

Grepping for IA64_UPID_SHIFT leads us to some assembly
code implementing fsys_getpid (why is that in assembly?!):

        add r8=IA64_PID_LEVEL_OFFSET,r17
        ;;
        ld4 r8=[r8]                             // r8 = pid->level
        add r17=IA64_PID_UPID_OFFSET,r17        // r17 = &pid->numbers[0]
        ;;
        shl r8=r8,IA64_UPID_SHIFT
        ;;
        add r17=r17,r8                          // r17 = &pid->numbers[pid->level]
        ;;
        ld4 r8=[r17]                            // r8 = pid->numbers[pid->level].nr
        ;;
        mov r17=0

Luckily it looks like this is only referencing the first members of struct upid,
and you are removing the last member, so I suspect you will be fine changing the IA64
to this:

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂBUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(struct upid) != 16);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂDEFINE(IA64_UPID_SHIFT, 4);

Tony, does that look ok to you?
