Re: 2.6.5-mm2 (build error in arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c)

[Jeremy Higdon <jeremy@sgi.com>]

I get a build error in arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c.

This patch fixes it for SN2 machines, but I don't claim it is Correct.
In fact, I think it is Wrong.

There have been changes to setup_arch(), including, apparently, the
elimination of the cmdline_p argument.  Unforunately, that argument
was not completely purged from the function.

platform_setup on SN2 is #define'd to sn_setup, which still takes
the argument, but does not use it.  So this hack works.  I don't
know about the other IA64s.

I'm not sure exactly what was intended with these changes, so I
haven't attempted a Correct patch.
