It is a prerequisite for ia64 to switch on CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET. (It's also a very low-impact patch easy to convince oneself does nothing on other machines, and it's in new 2.6.25 code so far used only on x86, powerpc, and sparc.) I think those patches are on their way to being merged by ia64 maintainers. But I don't know what their targets are. I'm guessing not til after .25. Shaohua Li is driving that effort.
