[linux-mm-cc] Compcache warnings on ia64.

[John McCabe-Dansted]

BTW, which mailing list should I cc discussion to? Just
linux-mm-cc at laptop.org? CC'ing all three seems a little excessive.

FYI, I get the following warnings on ia64.

I also got a crash on Gutsy-ia64, although that could well be related
to faulty CD media, or perhaps Gutsy does not swap out ram disk pages
to swap causing it to run out of memory even when plenty of swap is
left. Anyway, I don't think ia64 is urgent for the Ubuntu LiveCDs.
I've run a ia64 machine with 256MB of ram, but if you have such an
unusual hardware configuration you don't really need 64bit pointers :)
