The only instance where I see those re-entrance error
reports is when the driver has crashed (or something it
calls has crashed in the system), THEN I see a never-ending
repetition of these errors as the interrupt driver has
aborted in surprising way -- usually killing whichever
process that happened to be in the usermode at the time.
If the dev->interrupt is removed, then perhaps the
driver has a change of recovering, or perhaps not, and
I would see different kind of an error cascade leading
to completely frozen system.
The real solution, of course, is to hunt the bugs, and
fix them.
