this patch causes a recursive dependency when trying to build ia64 images.

make ARCH=ia64 allnoconfig:

scripts/kconfig/conf  --allnoconfig Kconfig
arch/ia64/Kconfig:126:error: recursive dependency detected!
arch/ia64/Kconfig:126:	choice <choice> contains symbol IA64_HP_SIM

For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt
subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations"

scripts/kconfig/Makefile:69: recipe for target 'allnoconfig' failed

Reverting the patch fixes the problem.
