Thanks for doing this - compiles and seems to work.

Tested-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@...el.com>

Can we get this added to the series - so it gets applied along with
Venki's patch.

I think your patch generation script needs some attention - I see
 arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c   |    2 +-
 arch/ia64/kernel/smp.c     |    2 +-
 arch/ia64/kernel/smpboot.c |   12 ++++++------

Generic code has already marked cpu 0 online ... so this one could
just be dropped (and the preceding comment too). Though it does no
harm to set it again.
