Why not "nr_irqs_gsi = max(nr_irqs_gsi, highest_gsi()+1)"?

While I think x = max(y, z) is fine, I generally find x = max(x, y)
pretty useless - what's the point of assigning a value to itself?
This is __init code, so code size considerations probably don't
matter, but I'd still like to not encourage inefficient code like this
to be used elsewhere by giving a bad example...

I think the code is clearer with max(). An even stronger argument is that it
makes the intent of the patch much more obvious too. I think you should
leave the max() construct in place in this patch.
