I don't understand this condition in the loop -- zero is a valid (and
common) value for interrupt servers:

# xxd /proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER5@0/ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s
0000000: 0000 0000 0000 0001

# xxd /proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER5@0/ibm,ppc-interrupt-gserver#s
0000000: 0000 0000 0000 00ff 0000 0001 0000 00ff

So I think this patch wouldn't always work.

I think we need a helper function or two to make this easier to do
correctly and readably, e.g.

/* Returns the device node (with refcount incremented)
 * corresponding to the given logical cpu id */
struct device_node * cpuid_to_of_node(int cpu) {
	struct device_node *np;
	u32 hcpuid = get_hard_smp_processor_id(cpu);

	for_each_node_by_type(np, "cpu") {
		int len, i;
		u32 *intserv = get_property(np,
				"ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s", &len);

		if (!intserv)
			intserv = get_property(np, "reg", &len);

		i = len / sizeof(u32);

		while (i--)
			if (intserv[i] == hcpuid)
				return np;
	}
	return NULL;
}


And then the loop in xics_init_IRQ can be replaced with something like:

np = cpuid_to_of_node(boot_cpuid);
BUG_ON(!np);
ireg = get_property(np, "ibm,ppc-interrupt-gserver#s", &ilen);
hcpuid = get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid);

if (ireg[0] == hcpuid)
	default_distrib_server = ireg[1];
else
	default_distrib_server = ireg[3];

default_server = hcpuid;
