Linux 5.4 removes IA64 - End of the line

Not that later kernel support was anything to write home about. But yeah, end of the line.

For those with IA-64 boxen, I suggest giving NetBSD devs remote access so they can improve ia64 support. You can setup a sort of KVM with an SBC rather easily.

Edit: User K22 informed me that I misunderstood this and it's only the Altix that's no longer supported.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
