[PATCH] MSI broke voyager build

From: James Bottomley

The author made the arch/i386 compile depend on NR_VECTORS being
defined.

This symbol, however, was put only into mach-default/irq_vectors.h

The attached patch adds it to voyager; visws and pc9800 however, are
still broken.

The code that breaks is this (in arch/i386/kernel/i8259.c):

* us. (some of these will be overridden and become
* 'special' SMP interrupts)
*/
- for (i = 0; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
+ for (i = 0; i < (NR_VECTORS - FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR); i++) {
int vector = FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR + i;
+ if (i >= NR_IRQS)
+ break;
if (vector != SYSCALL_VECTOR)
set_intr_gate(vector, interrupt[i]);

as far as I can see, with NR_VECTORS set at 256, FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR
at 32 and NR_IRQS set at 224 the two forms of the loop are identical.
The only case it would make a difference would be for NR_IRQ >
NR_VECTORS + FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR which doesn't seem to make any
sense. Perhaps just backing this change out of i8259.c would be
better? NR_VECTORS seems to have no other defined use in the MSI code.
