 Stray IRQs are a known phenomenon.  Obviously (if you think about it
 :), there's nothing the kernel could do about it.  Unless you have
 misconfigured your kernel so there's no driver assigned to a device
 that actually issues IRQs, they are a sign of flakey hardware, often
 caused by glitches on an IRQ line.

 Of course. :)  They weren't `stray' by definition otherwise (but
 instead, a driver like wdc1 that has no concern with them would get
 the IRQs).

 Fix your hardware.  Or live with the warnings.  As long as everything
 else continues to work, they are nothing to worry much about.

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
