Well, I was hoping to just have one sn2_defconfig file that was shared
between the linux-ia64-2.5 tree and the to-linus-2.5 tree; that way I'd
get early printk automatically if I applied the ia64 patch.  I didn't
think that was a problem (I haven't seen any warnings when I do 'make
sn2_defconfig' out of Linus' tree), but of course ideally we'd have
early printk for ia64 in Linus' tree, so I'm looking forward to Bjorn's
patch.

Thanks,
Jesse
