First problem -- function pointers on ia64, parisc & ppc64 are not pointers to the code you're going to execute, they're pointers to a function descriptor. See https://lists.linuxia64.org/archives/linux-ia64/2001-March/001254.html -- "It's not Hollywood. War is real, war is primarily not about defeat or victory, it is about death. I've seen thousands and thousands of dead bodies. Do you think I want to have an academic debate on this subject?" -- Robert Fisk
