As Rob correctly pointed out, IA is Intel Architecture in the context of the pdf.
All Intel Xeon processors support IA and AMD too.
While AES-NI has been around since Intel's Nehalem Xeon processors, OpenSSL speedup increases as register widths increase in the Xeon processor family, wider registers enable processing more data streams in parallel.

IA-64 or "Intel Architecture, 64 bits" has been and is "Itanium" but at the same time there is/was IA-32 referring to 32-bit x86. And of course there is AMD64 and EM64T and x86_64...  "IA" as such is I suppose vague and will depend on context.
