Upstream kernel dropped IA-64 for future releases, but it's still being
used the next few years with existing kernels, machines and distributions,
so I suggest to not *pro-actively* dropping existing code yet.
E.g. it's still supported on debian until end of the current debian releases.

Just my 2c.
