Please don't take patches like this.

If it's janitor work, the end result should be better. But it's not. This 
patch is full of stuff like

-	for(addr = (u8 *) __va(0xf0000); addr < (u8 *) __va(0x100000); addr += 16) {
+	for (addr = (u8 *) __va(0xf0000); addr < (u8 *) __va(0x100000);
+		addr += 16) {
 		rt = pirq_check_routing_table(addr);

Which just brings negative value. The code is _harder_ to look at, not 
easier.

The 80-character limit is less important than making code look obvious and 
indentation being readable. Splitting the for(;;) loop just made the 
indentation look like total crap.

I'm fixing it up (since it also caused trivial conflicts), but I'd ask 
people to just ignore that sh*t-for-brains that is the long-line warning 
when trying to fix it may silence a warning, but results in worse code!
