Searching for info on ia64 turned up this interesting thread:

optimizations. And it doesn't sound like ia64 uses much more *normal*
stack, just that there's the additional register stack.

It might not be unreasonable to commit the pmap hack, gather the data
from the build farm then later add an #ifdef around it. (or just make
it #ifdef USE_ASSERTIONS which I assume most build farm members are
running with anyways).

Alternatively it wouldn't be very hard to use mincore(2) to implement
it natively. I believe mincore is nonstandard but present in Linux and
BSD.
