ChangeSet 1.2321.2.3, 2005/03/31 16:15:46-08:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[IA64] Initialize ar.k7 to empty_zero_page early on.
Without this initialization, early TLB misses to any user-regions will
cause the TLB miss handlers to go down in flames. Normally, no such
early TLB misses occur, but aggressive use of lfetch.fault can trigger
it easily (e.g., when using lfetch.fault for the
prefetch()/prefetchw() macros we get an early miss for address 0 due
to a prefetch in find_pid()).
