Also, automated build tests should ignore such subsystems, or at least notify only those who are known to have an interest in the subsystem in particular. Given that Itanium/IA64 has no maintainer, is no longer supported in QEMU (for boot testing under emulation) and does not seem to have a user base beyond a couple of machines used by distros to churn out packages, let's mark it as dead. This shall mean that any treewide changes (such as changes to the EFI subsystem, which I maintain) can be made even if they might cause build or boot time regressions on IA64 machines. Also, mark the port as scheduled for removal after the next LTS release.
