applied to tip/x86/urgent, thanks Yinghai! Below are the final form of 
the two commit.

Clean-up sidenote: i think we can now remove the VISWS #ifdef portion 
for good? Mind sending a patch for that too?

    x86: size NR_IRQS on 32-bit systems the same way as 64-bit
    
    Impact: make NR_IRQS big enough for system with lots of apic/pins
    
    If lots of IO_APIC's are there (or can be there), size the same way
    as 64-bit, depending on MAX_IO_APICS and NR_CPUS.
    
    This fixes the boot problem reported by Ben Hutchings on a 32-bit
    server with 5 IO-APICs and 240 IO-APIC pins.

    x86: don't allow nr_irqs > NR_IRQS
    
    Impact: fix boot hang on 32-bit systems with more than 224 IO-APIC pins
    
    On some 32-bit systems with a lot of IO-APICs probe_nr_irqs() can
    return a value larger than NR_IRQS. This will lead to probe_irq_on()
    overrunning the irq_desc array.
    
    I hit this when running net-next-2.6 (close to 2.6.28-rc3) on a
    Supermicro dual Xeon system.  NR_IRQS is 224 but probe_nr_irqs() detects
    5 IOAPICs and returns 240.  Here are the log messages:
