   * mckinley_icache.dpatch:
-    Fix a cache coherency bug unearthed by a new ia64 processor, codenamed
-    Montecito.  This bug causes data corruption that has manifested itself
-    in kernel hangs and userspace crashes, and causes d-i to fail.

+    N.B: I have marked this as security as it seems that it would
+    be trivial to construct a user-space DoS - Simon Horman.
