[PATCH] ia64: note requirement for 8250_pnp, now that 8250_acpi is gone 

We removed 8250_acpi in 2.6.17.  If we don't have PNPACPI turned on, we
won't find any ACPI serial devices, so mention this requirement in the
troubleshooting part of the documentation.

CONFIG_PNPACPI is already turned on in all the relevant defconfigs.

- Add entry to /etc/securetty for console tty.
No ACPI serial devices found in 2.6.17 or later:
- Turn on CONFIG_PNP and CONFIG_PNPACPI. Prior to 2.6.17, ACPI
serial devices were discovered by 8250_acpi. In 2.6.17,
8250_acpi was replaced by the combination of 8250_pnp and
CONFIG_PNPACPI.
