| This is too confusing. Please change it to something simple, like:
| 
| 	for (i = 0; i < apic; i++)
| 		kfree(early_ioapic_entries[i]);
| 
| or
| 
| 	for (apic = 0; apic < nr_ioapics; apic++)
| 		kfree(early_ioapic_entries[apic]);
|

ok Suresh - you choose :)

Since Ingo already has updated his tree - will
send delta patch.
