Subject: [PATCH] 2.5.9-dj1, move choice selection in arch/ia64/config.in.

This patch moves the choice selection for Physical memory granularity
from the "Kernel hacking" section to the "Processor type and features"
section right after the choices for IA-64 processor type, IA-64 system type,
and Kernel page size. This seems to be a less obscure place for this option.

Please don't move around stuff that you may not understand. This
option is *meant* to be in an obscure place, because, frankly, it's an
obscure thing that most folks never have to worry about. It's only
needed for certain, very rare, machines and it's only a temporary
thing.

Thanks,
