Hi,

We ran the test again with kernel 2.1.119 without the patch
and with the patch. We did not see any difference in terms of
performances and we did not see any report of interrupts being
disabled (or cleared). So the problem does not seem to be
coming from an interrupts flooding.

Thanks for your help,

Claude
