Re: [PATCH 6.6 129/139] scripts: clean up IA-64 code

Hi all,

This commit is a refinement and cleanup of commit cf8e865 ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture"). However, linux-6.6.y and earlier kernel versions have not actually merged commit cf8e865, meaning IA-64 architecture has not been removed. Therefore, it seems commit 0df8e97 ("scripts: clean up IA-64 code") should not have been merged either.

I stumbled upon this while tracking the v6.6.69 update. It appears commit 358de8b ("kbuild: rpm-pkg: simplify installkernel %post") depends on commit cf8e865. We should perhaps consider reverting both of these commits and then refactoring commit 358de8b to prevent any issues with the IA-64 architecture in future linux-stable branches.

Thanks, -- WangYuli
