I may be preceeding your next response, and I apologize if I am,
but the more I think of it, the more I think that ia64.c should 
just be left as is.  If the kdump (compressed or not) advertises
a page size that's incompatible with the vmlinux file (via the
empty_zero_page check) then the user must be using the wrong vmlinux
file, and the session attempt should just be aborted as is done now.

I can't think of a reason where resetting the page size to conflict
with the dumpfile could ever possibly work?
