Hello Mr. Jesse Barnes,
could you please revert the CONFIG_MCA removal for the reasons
described below.

Thanks,
J. Curry

Oops, I missed that this came in via ia64_rd, not linux-ia64. It would be
best to send mail to Jesse Barnes to ask him to revert the CONFIG_MCA
removal (with cc to linux-ia64).

Thanks,
