This is a merge of Peter Keilty's initial patch (which was
revived by Bob Picco) for this with Hidetoshi Seto's fixes
and scaling improvements.

PNP and PNPACPI turned on
i8042 recently changed from ACPI to PNP detection. Without PNP, it
probes legacy I/O ports for the keyboard controller, which causes an
MCA on HP boxes.
Also, I'm about to remove 8250_acpi.c, so we'll need PNP to detect
non-PCI serial ports. Until 8250_acpi.c is removed, some systems
will see serial ports reported twice (once from 8250_acpi.c and again
from 8250_pnp.c). This is harmless.
PNPACPI is still marked EXPERIMENTAL, but I'm not aware of any
outstanding issues on ia64.
IDE_GENERIC turned off (except for SGI simulator, all ia64 IDE is PCI)
ide-generic probes compiled-in legacy I/O ports for IDE devices, which
again causes an MCA. It would be nicer to just get rid of all the
legacy junk from include/asm-ia64/ide.h, but that is a bit riskier
because it could break ide-cs and the HDIO_REGISTER_HWIF ioctl
(http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0508.2/0049.html).
Here's the essence of the patch:
-# CONFIG_PNP is not set
+CONFIG_PNP=y
+CONFIG_PNPACPI=y
-CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y
+# CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC is not set
Tested on tiger, bigsur, and zx1.

Delete the ability to build an ACPI kernel that does
not include PCI support. When such a machine is created
and it requires a tuned kernel, send a patch.

Build issues were mostly in the ACPI=n case -- don't do that.
Select ACPI from IA64_GENERIC.
Add some missing dependencies on ACPI.
Mark BLACKLIST_YEAR and some laptop-only ACPI drivers
as X86-only. Let me know when you get an IA64 Laptop.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
