SA is owned by serviceability - cc'd. Changes seem okay as a solution to 
immediate problem, but I don't think anyone expects the IA64 stuff to 
still be needed. It is on the todo list to eradicate IA64 IIRC.

Looks like there is limited awareness of the need to keep sa.files up to 
date. :(

Thanks,
David
