PATCH: 2.5 kconfig synchronise banners 4 (fwd)
[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.

SN1/2 require devfs. Already fixed in 2.4.19-ia64-020821 patch.
