[PATCH] 2.6.9-rc1-mm1: kexec ppc KEXEC Kconfig misplacement

From: Albert Herranz
Date: Mon Aug 30 2004 - 18:13:44 EST


Hi,

The following patch places KEXEC Kconfig ppc option in
a more convenient menu, like in the i386 tree.
It seems that it got again misplaced (in the current
-mm tree it appears within the IBM 40x options menu).

Patch against 2.6.9-rc1-mm1, available here:

Cheers,
Albert
