Wouldn't it be easier to just move the brace out of the ifdef and put it
on a line by itself? Readable, doesn't confuse, etc?

  	preempt_disable(); 
 +#if CONFIG_MK7
 +	for (i=1; i<nr_mce_banks; i++) {
 +#else
 - 	for (i=0; i<nr_mce_banks; i++) {
 + 	for (i=0; i<nr_mce_banks; i++)
 +#endif
        {

or similar. Otherwise I guess the solution defining a starting value
would be "less unreadable."
