Does lkp@xxxxxxxxx do ia64 builds? Yes, it builds zx1_defconfig.

Kisskb doesn't seem to build zx1_defconfig, but generic_defconfig.
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/target/101883/ shows this has been broken
since Oct 30.  Perhaps kisskb build failures are not emailed to the ia64
maintainers, or not acted upon?
(I do receive kisskb build failure emails for m68k)

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
