Thanks, but Kai Germaschewski did most of the infrastructure woark, I
just made the final stuff. He deserves credits more than I do.

I'm glad to see people having interest in it, I have notice several
architectures catching up on it.

A few minor comments.

I prefer the use of $(srctree), which is pointing to the root
of the kernel src tree. src works here because the file is included
from the top-level Makefile.

Same goes here.

s#$(ARCH)#ia64#g is unrelated, but OK.

I assume you will push this to David Mosberger.
