Mel-san.
I tested your patch (Thanks!). It worked. But......

Then, it can be common code.
How is this patch? I confirmed this can work well too.
--------
When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up
on ia64. It is cause of eternal loop.
In addition, its code can be common code. This is fix for it.
I tested this patch on my ia64 box.
