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
