Well, the reason why some of my kernels did not boot is that kernel
start address is changing from 0x100 offset to 0x180 offset for some
strange unknown reason when I change one line of code for example. If
I change more lines in same file on another place, it does not happen.
I will not investigate that now, but I'm able to arrange my boot
script according to actual starting address. ;)

Thus I was able to test both your patches and none of them makes difference.

Note that I got about 24000 interrupts per a second during buildworld
too. If I remember it correctly, it was about 4000 before r285935.
When the trigger is pulled, the count is changing (in range of 4000 to
21000). It looks like something is taking more time (interrupt
servicing probably). According to "systat -v", disk is going to be
100% (and more) busy very often for example.
