Dear all,
since v6.6-rc1 (actually introduced with [1], specific commit on [2])
the kernel build for ia64 fails like that:
```
Making kernel...

In short, the change introduced a function call ([3]) in effect for ia64
without providing an implementation for that function for ia64. There's
a discussion thread on [4] that also includes a patch ([5]) to "fix" the
problem but that one unfortunately wasn't included in [1] or [2]:
```

```
For me this patch solves the build problem for v6.6-rc1 and -rc2.
There's also another patch available for that specific problem by Ard
([6]) but I haven't seen this one included either up until 42dc814 and I
also haven't tested this one.
Could one ([5]) or the other ([6]) please be included in v6.6 (or
earlier) to "fix" the build problem for ia64?
Cheers,
Frank
