[IA64] Update Altix nofault code

Browse Source 
Montecito and Montvale behaves slightly differently than previous
Itanium processors, resulting in the MCA due to a failed PIO read
to sometimes surfacing outside the nofault code.  This code is
based on discussions with Intel CPU architects and verified at
customer sites.
