   How about the attached patch?

Looks good, except for the "extern" function proptotypes.  But I guess
we can't blame you for following the bad example set by ia64-tdep.c.

Kevin, can you approve this patch and create an ia64-tdep.h file with
the function prototypes afterwards?

David, You're not mentioned in the MAINTAINERS file.  Do you have a
valid FSF copyright assignment for GDB?
