    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:
