This is good idea, On Intel site, "Intel Itanium" is used together and
IA-64 follows it. So I chose "Intel Itanium IA-64". Maybe, Release
note may need some change though.
I realized Release note only used arch name in () for 32-bit PC and
64-bit PC, I only added there.
I just commited changes to webwml.
