4.4 Copying from Other Packages

When you copy legally significant code from another free software
package with a GPL-compatible license, you should look in the package's
records to find out the authors of the part you are copying, and list
them as the contributors of the code that you copied. If all you did
was copy it, not write it, then for copyright purposes you are not one
of the contributors of this code. 

Isn't Intel license on IA64 memory function compatible with GPL?
