It's probably a nice gesture to link to the platform home pages.

Processors:
	Itanium & Itanium 2

Motherboards:

	chipsets:
		HP zx1 (only on development branch)
		Intel 460GX
		Intel E8870

ATA: Except for the PC chipset embedded ATA controllers, most should
work OOTB.

SCSI:	LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 is known to work [mpt(4)]

Diva Serial [GSP] Multiport UART (development branch only [puc(4)]

UHCI and OHCI are supported. The UHCI on the "BigSur" seems to have

I don't think it's specific to ia64.
