This has been broken since May 2008 when Al Viro killed altroot support.
Since nobody has complained, it would appear that there are no users of
this code (A plausible theory since the main OSVs that support ia64 prefer
to use the IA32-EL software emulation).

Some current configs turn on GRU for ia64. The GRU code does not
correctly load on boot on ia64 (GRU does continue to work for x86-64), so
changing the IA64 Kconfig to not select GRU on ia64 configs for now until
we have time to fix.

CONFIG_SATA_VITESSE=y was not added to generic_defconfig when
sn2_defconfig was removed. SGI Altix systems that use an IO10
base IO card to drive the root device are unable to boot without
the Vitesse controller.

The AUTOFS=y and AUTOFS4=y causes problems with some distros versions of
automount. I turned both of those to =m and then followed the default
prompts for everything else. I did notice that CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG got
changed to CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG_MESSAGES and the default was a =y so I turned
that back to a =n.

The patch contains Intel IOMMU IA64 specific code. It defines new
machvec dig_vtd, hooks for IOMMU, DMAR table detection, cache line flush
function, etc.
For a generic kernel with CONFIG_DMAR=y, if Intel IOMMU is detected,
dig_vtd is used for machinve vector. Otherwise, kernel falls back to
dig machine vector. Kernel parameter "machvec=dig" or "intel_iommu=off"
can be used to force kernel to boot dig machine vector.

This patch changes the generic_defconfig so it works on all sn2
platforms I have access to. There is only one support configuration
which was not tested and that configuration is only a combination of two
tested configurations. With this patchset applied, a generic kernel can
be booted on either a RHEL 5.2, RHEL5.3, or SLES10 SP1 root and operate.
All features needed by SGI's ProPack are also working. I have not
tested all features of RHEL or SLES, but they do at least boot.

This patch updates the generic_defconfig for 2.6.27-rc1 by simply doing
a make oldconfig and holding down the carriage return.

This patch moves the default ia64 defconfig to
arch/ia64/configs/generic_defconfig where it belongs and selects it as
the default defconfig through KBUILD_DEFCONFIG.
