Subject: [PATCH 07/15] x86 ioapic: Fix io_apic_redir_entries to return the number of entries.

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@...ssion.com>

io_apic_redir_entries has a huge conceptual bug.  It returns the maximum
redirection entry not the number of redirection entries.  Which simply
does not match what the name of the function.  This just caught me
and it caught  Feng Tang, and  Len Brown when they wrote sfi_parse_ioapic.

Modify io_apic_redir_entries to actually return the number of redirection
entries, and fix the callers so that they properly handle receiving the
number of the number of redirection table entries, instead of the
number of redirection table entries less one.

While the usage in sfi.c does not show up in this patch it is fixed
by virtue of the fact that io_apic_redir_entries now has the semantics
sfi_parse_ioapic most reasonably expects.
