I think the ia64 ordering for 'io and mem' is probably more correct (alphabetically sorted), so I would fix i386 and amd64 and leave ia64 alone. The powerpc 'machine' changes are wrong I think as it would break GENERIC64 and powerpc64 kernel configs in general. Nathan purposefully removed 'machine' from the powerpc DEFAULTS. -- John BaldwinReceived on Fri Sep 10 2010 - 10:00:21 UTC
