I made a fresh 3.2.0-rc2 build and the problems are still there (the
previous kernel still had IRQ_FORCED_THREADING disabled).

I both modified the IRQ handlers in the firewire-ohci and e1000 driver
to log, when they are called, whether they think the interrupt was
meant for them ('ours') or not ('not ours').

The results (for IRQ16 it took a rather long while to obtain) are listed below.

I have the impression that I see the same failure mechanism for both
IRQs. All goes well for a while, until an IRQ storm starts right
(e1000: 19 us, firewire-ohci: 39 us) after a valid IRQ.

Therefore there is a strong correlation between the arrival of the
spurious interrupt, alledgedly caused by a mystery device, and the
earlier arrival of a valid interrupt for a device. Combined with the
fact that it happens on 2 different IRQs pretty much rules out the
possibilty for me that there is either a mystery device at all, or
that the existing devices would both be defective, does it not ?

I also do not understand, if there would be a stuck IRQ line, why I
can unload and reload e1000 and firewire-ohci without immediately
getting the same IRQ storm.

Are there any tools suitable for tracing the handling of the last
valid interrupt ?

Thanks for any tips (and again for Clemens for providing a hack making
it possible for me to keep the disk IRQs out of the danger zone).
