I have dropped this hunk because the file which it is patching is removed
by the (newly-added-to-mm) git-perfmon.patch. I can't immediately find any
corresponding code which was readded in a different place by git-perfmon so
it looks like this code was simply zapped.
Of course, if git-perfmon doesn't merge in 2.6.25 then I'll end up merging
your patch but accidentally leaving 2.6.25's arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c
unpatched. It looks like that'll be non-fatal.
This isn't going to go very well and I might end up having to drop this
whole patch series and ask for a refactored one. We'll see.
