[Patch] I port the command line enhancement patch to the IA64 arc hitecture.

["Zhang, Sonic" <sonic.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

        I successfully port my command line enhancement patch to the IA64
architecture. I have tested it on an Itanium platform with Linux kernel 2.4.
19. Please refer to the attachment. 

        This patch is based on kernel 2.4.19 with KDB patch kdb-v2.5-2.4.19
and IA64 patch linux-2.4.19-ia64-020821. It is still without your changes to
the serial console. 

        Before porting to IA64, I think code in architecture dependent
function kdba_read() is actually architecture independent. So, in order to
merge redundant code for each architecture, I delete function kdba_read()
and move all code to architecture independent function kdb_read(). I also
change some related definition in head file kdbprivate.h accordingly. 

        Do you think it is reasonable or not? Are there any better
solutions?

        Thanks.
