This shouldn't happen unless there are some misconfiguration problems.
I can't remember who, but another person had lots of these types of
problems and it turned out to be some other problem completely, due to
out-of-date kernel sources.

Basically, due to the way interrupts are done, nothing bad can happen in
this case if everything on your hardware is correct.  If you've got bad
hardware, then this only points to a problem, and IMHO should NOT be
worked around since problems may occur later and more randomly.
