[Linux-ia64] [PATCH] 2.5 - No early printk for GENERIC

[Linux-ia64] [PATCH] 2.5 - No early printk for GENERIC

[Martin Hicks]

David,

Here is a patch to the ia64 Kconfig file that disables the
EARLY_PRINTK menu option if a GENERIC kernel is selected.

As we discussed last week, EARLY_PRINTK doesn't work for
GENERIC kernels anymore because readb/readl are now 
machvecs.

thanks
mh
