G'day,
This patch from Keith Owens fixes a bug in the ia64 port
of oprofile when built without the kdb patch and with a
pre-3.4 gcc.

I don't speak for SGI.
If you build a standard kernel with gcc < 3.4 then
ia64_spinlock_contention_pre3_4 is defined. But a standard kernel
does not have ia64_spinlock_contention_pre3_4_end, that label is
only added by the kdb patch. To get the backtrace profiling with
gcc < 3.4, the _end label needs to be added as part of the kernprof
patch, then I will remove it from kdb. Send this to akpm.
