I don't think this fixes tag makes sense either as it was just a
straightforward code relocation. As pointed out elsewhere, it will
probably be back even further where CONFIG_PRINTK was introduced, which
would be d59745ce3e7a (2005 vintage). The ia64 debug option predates
git, so it isn't at fault (and you can't blame it anyway).
Honestly, realize this is just for a randconfig for ia64 where PRINTK is
disabled - something that will never be done in any of the remaining
ia64 deployments out there (if there is any). So I'd just recommend
dropping the Fixes tag and move on. It isn't like there is a lot of
people out there doing randconfig builds on linux-stable releases.
Paul.
