Hmmh, I'm a bit reluctant to do this, as it will pull in all the other
drivers, 99% of which won't build.  How about just including the
loopback prompt directly in the ia64 config?  If this works, send me a
patch and I'll include it.  (Yes, I realize that's kludgy, but
presumably this will all get cleaned up if and when the new kernel
configuration makes it into 2.5).
