sadly, virtualization on this orphaned architecture [not that 
Intel will admit it] is not maturing as quickly as on i386 / 
x86_64

The LSB would use it as a donation [1] and be happy for it, 
but the cost of shopping (to the Oregon St Univ Open Source

power makes it had to justify.  Having a dedicated IA64 fpr 
the LSB would be a goodness
