After some discussion with jhb on IRC, I rebooted in single-user mode
and ran 'fsck -y' on all file systems.  It found several unreferenced
directories and files on / and /home, and a handful of incorrect link
counts.  Background fsck is now off, and I'm somewhat confident my
interrupt latency problems will not resurface, though it's too early
to tell.
