Seems sensible.

You get a OPT_CONSOLE_STR for the console= option so you can define 
that how you like. I guess for ia-64 emulators you don't need a com1= 
or com2= as the 'uart' driver is probably parameter-less. For real 
systems with an ns16550, the recent changes bring the ia-64 command 
line in line with how x86 has been for ages (i.e., you need to 
explicitly configure baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity).
