[PATCH] ia64: Fix early serial console setup regression on the IBM x450 and x455

This patch removes the ACPI LEGACY_DEVICES IA-PC boot architecture
flag as a condition for early serial console setup.  This flag may not
be set on some systems (e.g. IBM x450 and x455) where early serial
console setup is possible.
