Hi once again, but things are not good with any kernel past the
reworked IRQ stuff.

After experiencing problems with many post 2.6.38 kernels with X
when I used
Firefox to see any webpage that used some of the new HTML5
features (Firefox
freeze completely X and I could only log in remotely with SSH), I
took some
time to see where things went wrong and, to cut a long story short, I
bisected the kernel and I found that a commit of yours was the
first one
that introduced a problem with my system:
Can you attach /proc/interrupts as well please.
It seems that the radeon thing is just one of the manifestations of
the problem.
Today, I noticed another bad symptom, when I accidentally booted with
kernel 3.0 (I have many kernels in GRUB2): I printed a LaTeX document
with only 2 pages of pure text. My printer is an inkjet printer
connected via USB to my computer and it took about 6 minutes to print
those 2 pages. The printer head moved printing something, then it
paused a bit, then it printed some more, then it paused some more etc.
I just rebooted with 2.6.38 and the very same document was printed
in, like, 15 seconds...
So, is there anything that I could do to rectify this situation? I
can give you loads of dumps from here, as long as you tell me what
would be useful.
Thanks,
