Hi,
This patch changes kernel_start() to use ia64_platform_is() and not
init the 16550 driver on sn2. In addtion this eliminates the need for
the old hpsim test function.
I don't know if Xen currently runs under ski (anyone?), but wouldn't
it make sense add the is_platform_hp_ski() code to acpi_get_sysname()
before we break if for sure? Thanks,
Not sure I follow you here. I believe the ia64_platform_is() does pretty
much the same thing and it's identical to how Linux does it.
I don't think anything special is required ....
acpi_get_sysname() will never return "hpsim" on a generic kernel,
therefore I don't see how ia64_platform_is("hpsim") could ever return
true under the current build configuration. Thanks,
Alex
