Description
We are currently skipping implementation of ForceEarlyReturn on Itanium.
(CR 6253538: Support early return from methods).

So, this RFE is a placeholder for ia64 implementation in the future.
It's not clear if it'd be possible to implement it in Mustang time frame.

For details, please, refer to the original CR 6253538.

EVALUATION It would need to be implemented on ia64 in Mustang or post-Mustang. Most likely it will never be done as we do not support ia64 starting from Mustang. I do not close this bug yet in a case if our strategy in ia64 support is changed.
