If it is worthwhile to change, why not make it a few longer than that? 
Even with your patch, I can get:

interrupt        total      rate
clk0 irq0    295363845       99
rtc0 irq8    378098605      127
fdc0 irq6            1        0
wdc0 irq14   125614605       42
wdc1 irq15   148530817       50
sc0 irq1             1        0
sio1 irq3        20746        0
ed0 irq5     205705153       69
ep0 irq10       131130        0
