I was monitoring a machine with "systat -vmstat" and noticed something
about the interrupts and I don't know if it's a problem or not. If it
is a problem, is there anything I can do about it?
The interrupts for the network interface (em0) on irq 64 exactly match
those for a uhc device on irq 16.
And the interrupts for the hardware raid (amr) on irq 46 exactly match
those for a uhc device on irq 18.
The machine is a Dell 2850 running 5.4. Relevant bits from the dmesg are:
ioapic0: Changing APIC ID to 2
ioapic1: Changing APIC ID to 3
ioapic1: WARNING: intbase 32 != expected base 24
ioapic2: Changing APIC ID to 4
ioapic2: WARNING: intbase 64 != expected base 56
ioapic3: Changing APIC ID to 5
ioapic3: WARNING: intbase 96 != expected base 88

Turning off USB isn't an option as it's required for the
pseudo-keyboard/mouse used by the DRAC.
Here a sample of the interrupt section. The number of interrupts for
em0@64/uhc@16 can easily be in the thousands rather than hundreds.

Any insight appreciated,
