[PATCH] ia64: Fix request_module from ia32 process

When an ia32 process triggers request_module the kernel cannot execute
modprobe because the kernel thread still has the ia32 address limits in
force.  I think a kernel thread should always have the ia64 address
limits, similar to what sys32_execve is doing.
