    [IA64] Ensure cpu0 can access per-cpu variables in early boot code

broke kdump on our Altix 350. I get following early crash in kdump
kernel

Sorry about that.  I'll try to reproduce it here.  Do you (or anyone
else reading this) know if the version of kexec that ships with RHEL5.2
works with current 2.6.27-rc kernels

There's the danger of a zero-size /proc/vmcore, but that doesn't  

matter here. If you get a /proc/vmcore, regardless of the size, the  

bug did not hit you. :-)

So you can use it here.

Bernhard
