Noticed today on news.sol.net:

hummin# vmstat -i
interrupt      total      rate
clk0 irq0    16981562      261
rtc0 irq8     8308881      128
fdc0 irq6           1        0
sc0 irq1         1831        0
ed0 irq10     9768007      150
Total        35060282      540

What the heck, with clk0?

The board is an ASUS Triton P90 with NCR-810 and AHA-3940 controller, one
SMC Ethernet, not much else..

The ASUS SP3G it replaced did not seem to exhibit that behaviour.

I see the same bizarre extra "irq0" oddity on Exec-PC's Triton board:

daily-planet# vmstat -i
interrupt      total      rate
clk0 irq0     7781389      495
rtc0 irq8     2010688      128
fdc0 irq6           1        0
sc0 irq1          167        0
lpt0 irq7           1        0
Total         9792246      623

Nifty :-)
