This should be "i" instead of "1".  And conditions are more readable if
you put the part that changes first "if (variable < limit)" to avoid
backwards think.

	if (i < count) {

Or you could reverse it the other way:

	if (i >= count)
		break;

It's sort of surprising that we can change how we write this information
but we don't have to change how it is read.  I guess presumably it's
just dumped as hex to debugfs or something like that...  Who knows.  :/
