| hm, by iterator i meant the body itself. I.e. something like:
| 
| static void __init setup_IO_APIC_irqs(void)
| {
|         int apic, pin, notcon = 1;
| 
|         apic_printk(APIC_VERBOSE, KERN_DEBUG "init IO_APIC IRQs\n");
| 
|         for (apic = 0; apic < nr_ioapics; apic++)
| 		for (pin = 0; pin < nr_ioapic_registers[apic]; pin++)
| 			notcon = setup_ioapic_irq(apic, pin, notcon);
| 
|         if (!notcon)
|                 apic_printk(APIC_VERBOSE, " not connected.\n");
| }
| 
| this looks quite a bit cleaner, doesnt it? We lose the 'idx' and 'irq' 
| variables and we lose the curly braces as well. The flow looks a lot 
| more trivial. And the new setup_ioapic_irq() function will be simpler as 
| well - it will only have 'idx' and 'irq' as a local variable, the rest 
| comes in as a parameter. It can 'return notcon' instead of 'continue'. 
| And it will be 2 levels of tabs aligned to the left, as an added bonus.
| 
| Hm?

Yes Ingo it does look much cleaner _but_ the only thing which bothering
me is that we split 'logical solid' printing into several functions -
i mean we started printing in new setup_ioapic_irq function and finish
it in caller and that is much worser then having long lines printing
in single function i think (but I could be wrong :)

If we just drop original printing (just for a second to get the whole
image) we will get:

---
static void __init setup_IO_APIC_irqs(void)
{
	int apic, pin, idx, irq, first_notcon = 1;

	for (apic = 0; apic < nr_ioapics; apic++) {
		for (pin = 0; pin < nr_ioapic_registers[apic]; pin++) {

			idx = find_irq_entry(apic, pin, mp_INT);
			if (idx == -1) 
				continue;

			irq = pin_2_irq(idx, apic, pin);
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
			if (multi_timer_check(apic, irq))
				continue;
#endif
			add_pin_to_irq(irq, apic, pin);

			setup_IO_APIC_irq(apic, pin, irq,
					irq_trigger(idx), irq_polarity(idx));
		}
	}
---

So as you see it's more then enough self-solid :) So I wouldn't
break it 'cause of printing. If we have enough memory for bit
field - we could just mark there if pin is connected to irq and
print connection map after.
Don't get me wrong please - I just don't want to overload this function
with additional call.

According how many characters have been typed for this message I think
instead of talking I could already have done the patch you supposed :)
