Its a shame that we've got exactly two users of sort() (ought to be
named heapsort), one in arm/io.c which ought to be replaced with a
generalised version of my sorted-array logic for VMCS load/save lists,
and the other in x86's sort_exception_table() which ought to become
build-time logic.

Aren't some compilers going to complain at the lack of brackets for this
setup of r?

Also as you're editing the line, the "r  = c" part should lose one space.
