[PATCH] ia64: infinite loop in ia64_mca_wakeup_ipi_wait

This bugfix has been hiding inside the MCA TLB patches.

There is an infinite loop in ia64_mca_wakeup_ipi_wait() because
the compiler optimizes away the test at the bottom of the while
loop.  It does this because IA64_MCA_WAKEUP_VECTOR is 0xf0, so
irr_bit is known to be the constant 0x30, a.k.a. 48 in decimal.
So when the compiler looks at the expression:

It observes that 1' as unsigned
long.
