+@cindex options for IA-64
+
+@table @option
+@cindex @code{-mconstant-gp} command line option, IA-64
+
+@item -mconstant-gp
+This option instructs the assembler to mark the resulting object file
+as using the ``constant GP'' model.  With this model, it is assumed
+that the entire program uses a single global pointer (GP) value.  Note
+that this option does not in any fashion affect the machine code
+emitted by the assembler.  All it does is turn on the EF_IA_64_CONS_GP
+flag in the ELF file header.
+
+@item -mauto-pic
+This option instructs the assembler to mark the resulting object file
+as using the ``constant GP without function descriptor'' data model.
+This model is like the ``constant GP'' model, except that it
+additionaly does away with function descriptors.  What this means is
+that the address of a function refers directly to the function's code
+entry-point.  Normally, such an address would refer to a function
+descriptor, which contains both the code entry-point and the GP-value
+needed by the function.  Note that this option does not in any fashion
+affect the machine code emitted by the assembler.  All it does is
+turn on the EF_IA_64_NOFUNCDESC_CONS_GP flag in the ELF file header.
+
+@item -milp32
+@item -milp64
+@item -mlp64
+@item -mp64
+These options select the data model.  The assembler defaults to @code{-mlp64}
+(LP64 data model).
+
+@item -mle
+@item -mbe
+These options select the byte order.  The @code{-mle} option selects little-endian
+byte order (default) and @code{-mbe} selects big-endian byte order.  Note that
+IA-64 machine code always uses little-endian byte order.
+
+@item -x
+@item -xexplicit
+These options turn on dependency violation checking.  This checking is turned on by
+default.
+
+@item -xauto
+This option instructs the assembler to automatically insert stop bits where necessary
+to remove dependency violations.
+
+@item -xdebug
+This turns on debug output intended to help tracking down bugs in the dependency
+violation checker.

+@subsection Special Characters
+
+@cindex line comment character, IA-64
+@cindex IA-64 line comment character
+@samp{//} is the line comment token.
+
+@cindex line separator, IA-64
+@cindex statement separator, IA-64
+@cindex IA-64 line separator
+@samp{;} can be used instead of a newline to separate statements.
+
+@node IA-64-Regs
+@subsection Register Names
+@cindex IA-64 registers
+@cindex register names, IA-64
+
+The 128 integer registers are refered to as @samp{r@var{n}}.
+The 128 floating-point registers are refered to as @samp{f@var{n}}.
+The 128 application registers are refered to as @samp{ar@var{n}}.
+The 128 control registers are refered to as @samp{cr@var{n}}.
+The 64 one-bit predicate registers are refered to as @samp{p@var{n}}.
+The 8 branch registers are refered to as @samp{b@var{n}}.
+In addition, the assembler defines a number of aliases:
+@samp{gp} (@samp{r1}), @samp{sp} (@samp{r12}), @samp{rp} (@samp{b0}),
+@samp{ret0} (@samp{r8}), @samp{ret1} (@samp{r9}), @samp{ret2} (@samp{r10}),
+@samp{ret3} (@samp{r9}), @samp{farg@var{n}} (@samp{f8+@var{n}}), and
+@samp{fret@var{n}} (@samp{f8+@var{n}}).
+
+For convenience, the assembler also defines aliases for all named application
+and control registers.  For example, @samp{ar.bsp} refers to the register
+backing store pointer (@samp{ar17}).  Similarly, @samp{cr.eoi} refers to
+the end-of-interrupt register (@samp{cr67}).
+
+@node IA-64-Bits
+@subsection IA-64 Processor-Status-Register (PSR) Bit Names
+@cindex IA-64 Processor-status-Register bit names
+@cindex PSR bits
+@cindex bit names, IA-64
+
+The assembler defines bit masks for each of the bits in the IA-64
+processor status register.  For example, @samp{psr.ic} corresponds to
+a value of 0x2000.  These masks are primarily intended for use with
+the @sample{ssm}/@sample{sum} and @sample{rsm}/@sample{rum}
+instructions, but they can be used anywhere else where an integer
+constant is expected.
