[IA64] Update Altix nofault code
Montecito and Montvale behaves slightly differently than previous Itanium processors, resulting in the MCA due to a failed PIO read to sometimes surfacing outside the nofault code. This code is based on discussions with Intel CPU architects and verified at customer sites. Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson <rja@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
