link errors with CONFIG_SERIAL_ACPI enabled

link errors with CONFIG_SERIAL_ACPI enabled

[Hans-Christian Armingeon]

Hi folks,
I noticed, that every time I switch on CONFIG_SERIAL_ACPI as a Module, I get some linker errors when make bzImage tries to link the bzImage together.
I don't have the exact output at hands, but I'll reproduce it if needed.

RE: link errors with CONFIG_SERIAL_ACPI enabled

[Grover, Andrew]

CONFIG_SERIAL_ACPI should be an IA64 only option (but it's not) so just
deselect it for now if you're on IA32.
