[Linux-ia64] PATCH: 2.5 kconfig synchronise banners 4 (fwd)

[Kai Germaschewski <kai-germaschewski@uiowa.edu>]

[Maybe someone here knows an answer? If not, I'll just remove the SN 
specific special casing of devfs]

Hi,

is there any specific reason that SN1/2 have non-standard behavior with 
respect to devfs? If not, I'd prefer to just throw away that special case 
entirely.

G'day,

The symbol CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG was defined in two different ways in
arch/ia64/config.in and fs/Config.in, both visible at the same time.
I took the opportunity to move all the devfs stuff out of the ia64
config.in as all of the other architectures let fs/Config.in do it.
