   No, Intel compiler doesn't plan to support ia64 asm inlines in
   foreseeable future.

looking at __scm.h closely, i see the inline asm is just an
implementation detail of SCM_FENCE, but SCM_FENCE is important
anyway (having it be defined to be nothing is indeed dangerous).

so the question becomes: does the intel compiler have an alternate
method to guarantee ordering as required by SCM_FENCE?  sorry for
not asking this earlier, when you had said you would be willing to
dig into the issue.
