Btw - does anyone have numbers how often these spurious interrupts appear
on a Intel system? I've got a Linux/MIPS system on which I receive a
significant number of these from peripherals connected via an mostly
undocumented PC/Intel-style bus interface.
It depends greatly on the hardware and driver. For some reason, moving a large
chunk of data over the ethernet to an SMC Elite Ultra 16 generates a lot of
them, which was one of the places I could most reliably reproduce this problem.
