:-) is there any guide to how IRQ's are handled ? I had a thought - as
I have a machine I can reproduce this on, plus I know exactly what IRQ
it is and how many things should be run then maybe I could code in some very
specific debugging code for my kernel and generate a panic the first time sym
isnt checked when IRQ 15 is fired. Could do that by counting number of
checked in the interrupt loop possibly ?

Sorry, wasnt intended as a complaint - more that I didnt know if the
workaround was actually intended to be committed or not, as the better
solution would be to find and the actual bug, and not put a workaround
into the code.
