Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ia64: drop custom exception table implementation

Now that the common extable implementation can deal with the needs
ia64 has, drop its custom implementation.

Nice generalization of the exception code.

If Tony acks this patch then we can put the 3 patches into a separate -tip branch
and test it on x86 and push it into -next for ia64 testing. That would be the
simplest upstream merge route - if that's fine by Tony as well.

Thanks,

Ingo

Yes - nice to see x86 finally catch up with ia64's compact exception tables :-)

It *looks* ok. I didn't get time to try it out - but if it worked
on Jan's test system, then I'm fine to have it thrown into the linux-next
mix so I can pick it up with my regular linux-next tests.
