history of one ia64 kprobes patch

[Frank Ch. Eigler]

Hi -

Once upon a time, about two years ago, a patch went into the kernel
for rejecting some kprobes placements in ia64.

This test is in RHEL5 (inherited from 2.6.18), but does not appear in
the current git tree, and I can't seem to find when/why it came back
out.

(This is related to Red Hat bug #207107, for those of you RHers
playing along at home.)
