So perhaps this should s/cpu_relax/soemt_relax/ where soemt_relax
is a no-op everywhere except ia64, which can define it as cpu_relax.

Heh. I already took your earlier "$ git rm -r arch/ia64" comment as an
ack for not really caring about ia64.

I suspect nobody will notice, and if ia64 is the only reason to do
this, I really don't think it would be worth it.
