Replying to my own question with more data. Previously I had been running my own kernel; I was curious if the problem would reproduce with a GENERIC kernel. It does but the symptoms are slightly different. The same irq is firing too often and consuming nearly all of one core. But the driver that is associated with the interrupt is different -- it's fwohci0: interrupt total rate irq6: fdc0 1 0 irq17: mskc0 dc0 313242 13 irq18: skc0 uhci2* 124475451 5540 irq19: fwohci0+++ 957875379 42638 irq23: uhci3 ehci1 1145 0 cpu0: timer 44458513 1979 cpu1: timer 44448875 1978 cpu3: timer 43393901 1931 cpu2: timer 43393921 1931 Total 1258360428 56014 This makes me start to wonder if this is not a problem with irq19 (the PIC?) and not one particular device / driver. I'm not sure how to make dig deeper here, any help greatly appreciated.
