Did something break IRQ handling somewhere? I need to validate if this happens with X not running also if it is i915 related somehow. The behavor is noticed in a console login however.

Can you please open a Bugzilla entry at bugzilla.kernel.org and attach
the output of lspci -vvv, the contents of /proc/interrupts and
a boot dmesg log from the affected machine to it? Ideally, both from a kernel
that doesn't have the problem and from the affected one.

Thanks,
Rafael
