There are still some "itc.d" instructions in ivt.S (in the #ifndef
CONFIG_SMP code).  This checker caught them ... but the error messages
from the build were not as elegant as they might be

  AS      arch/ia64/kernel/pvchk-ivt.o
arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S: Assembler messages:
arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S:583: Warning: itc.d should not be used directly.
arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S:583: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `r'
arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S:649: Warning: itc.i should not be used directly.
arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S:649: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `r'
arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S:701: Warning: itc.d should not be used directly.
arch/ia64/kernel/ivt.S:701: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `r'
make[1]: *** [arch/ia64/kernel/pvchk-ivt.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/ia64/kernel] Error 2


I'll hold off on applying part32/32 until the CONFIG_SMP=n case
is fixed.
