Posting the patch constantly on the mailing list is damn right stupid,
it's a huge patch at times and it's easy enough for people who needs
it to download. When you download SKI & NUE you are pointed at the
place, besides most users of non x86 machines have already found out
that they have to download extras from other places, why should that
be any different for the ia64?
The config options differ because David and others have real hardware
and normally don't compile the kernel for the simulator - do you also
expect Linus' tree to compile out of the box for you without changing
any default option?
