I will test these changes later this week. I guess they will make it easier
to drop ia64 support from the kernel if that gets decided in the foreseeable
future.

Hi John,

That is one aspect of it. Another aspect is that the lack of a
asm/efi.h header created some problems in the past, given that all
other EFI architectures do have it.

But the most important reason is really that arch-specific definitions
for an obsolete architecture should not be visible in other builds.

I fully agree. I try to test your patches over the weekend. Since Tony
is not active anymore, we need to get the patches pulled in through
someone else's tree. Probably Arnd or Mike (both CC'ed).

already in -next.
