Missing braces and spaces around '+', please read CODING_STYLE.

The technical content of this patch looks correct to me, and I've tested
it on a versatilepb Linux image. (Presumably Linux doesn't make use
of different vector addresses/priorities, which is why we haven't noticed
this bug before now.)

As Blue says, you need to fix the coding style issues (you can run
your patch through scripts/checkpatch.pl to help with this). checkpatch
is probably going to end up getting you to fix the indent on the
whole for() loop, which is fine -- we usually fix up the coding style
locally when we make a change. (the key bits of coding style here are
4 space indent, open-brace on same line as 'for' and 'if', braces
mandatory even for single line 'if' bodies.)

I also think we could improve on the comment text. Here's my
suggestion (replaces the current just-above-the-loop comment):

        /* Read vector address at the start of an ISR.  Increases the
         * current priority level to that of the current interrupt.
         *
         * Since an enabled interrupt X at priority P causes prio_mask[Y]
         * to have bit X set for all Y > P, this loop will stop with
         * i == the priority of the highest priority set interrupt.
         */

thanks

Thanks for the helpful feedback - checkpatch.pl does indeed point out the 
coding style problems in the patch.

That explains the situation more clearly, thanks. V3 to follow.
