Haven't seen this.  And I don't pay too much attention to this until the
kernel is stable.

Report this to the kernel lists.  There is a separate ia64 kernel list
which you also want to post the report to.

Map the address to a DSO.

According to what I have been told the ia32 BEA JVM doesn't work.  So it
would be astonishing if the ia64 version would work.  The implementation
probably relies on some non-POSIX behavior the LT implementation had.
Unfortunately I haven't seen much movement from BEA's side.
