Sure, I'd love to.  I thought the ia64 NPTL bits weren't quite ready yet.
But yes, it will be nice to have it.

I can see that, but unless I'm missing something, the sysinfo member
is always there in the thread descriptor.  Leaving it uninitialized
seems more dangerous than initializing it with a sane value, no?
