 Should be:


.if NR_IRQS gt 16			# only build this for IO-APIC
	.align 8,0x90			# make ENTRY have exact address
irq_align=8				# start with 8-byte alignment
ENTRY(high_irq_entries_start)
.rept NR_IRQS-16			# the rest of the stubs
	.align irq_align,0x90
1:	pushl $vector-256		# 5-byte instruction
	jmp common_interrupt		# 2 or 5 bytes (8 or 32-bit offset)
2:
.if 2b-1b > 8				# offset changed to 32-bit
	irq_align=16			# switch to 16-byte alignment
.endif
.data
	.long 1b
.text
vector=vector+1
.endr
.endif
