[Linux-ia64] Finally: success with 2.4.2-ia64-010228

[Keith Owens]

Several independent bugs combined to make 2.4.2-ia64-010228 fail.  The
first two patches below came from an SGI mailing list and may already
be known on this list, although I have not seen them mentioned here.

The ivt.S change caused random errors on kdb break points.

The missing '\' in ia64/config.in slips through menuconfig and results
in CONFIG_ITANIUM_PTCG being set to y for B1 and B2.  As soon as init
calls mprotect() on my B1 it does ptcg and hangs.  This explains why
some people were reporting hang after the kernel gives control to user
space.

I am still seeing random EFI delays, before it even gets to the kernel,
using build 84.  AFAICT there is no higher build for B1.
