Re: [ia64] Regression: Re: [rfc] Fix Obj-C method calls on 64-bit PowerPC

Darn function descriptors on ia64, and darn objc support that
overmatches. One of the assumptions I was making when considering
this patch for 7.0 was the fact that it would only affect ObjC.
But I should have known better after all the discussions I had
with Matt Rice. My suggestion is to revert it from 7.0, and maybe
consider it for 7.0.1 if we manage to fix all unexpected side-effects
by then.
