s/interrupts than 128/than 128 interrupts/ (not sure about this one)

Maybe point out that "X external interrupts" corresponds to "X + 16
vectors".

That's pointless. Better do:

	if (WARN(irqs > 128, "vector table in entry-v7m.S configured for 128 irqs"))
		irqs = 128;

Hmm, I wonder if that is correct. The first 16 exceptions are the system
exception that will not be registered be drivers and so exception 16
(i.e. the first regular irq) is reported as hwirq 0. So I think we can
(in a separate patch) pass irqs - 16 to irq_domain_add_linear. Didn't
test that though.
