The two conditionals don't complement each other; in fact, only one 
conditional is required since the test for old_vector equality to zero 
will never be satisfied.  Also note that irq_vectors are u8 on x86_64 and 
not ints.

	static void __clear_irq_vector(int irq)
	{
		u8 old_vector = irq_vector[irq];
		if (old_vector > 0) {
			cpumask_t old_mask;
			int old_cpu;
			cpus_and(old_mask, irq_domain[irq], cpu_online_map);
			for_each_cpu_mask(old_cpu, old_mask)
				per_cpu(vector_irq, old_cpu)[old_vector] = -1;
		}
		irq_vector[irq] = 0;
		irq_domain[irq] = CPU_MASK_NONE;
	}
