As the person who added AMD K7 local APIC support to the kernel, I consider the _real_ problem to be the lack of adequate documentation. AMD has almost no documentation on the K7's machine-specific features, and VIA similarly don't seem keen on documenting their chipsets.
If someone were to find AMD K7 documentation at the level of Intel's IA32 Volume 3 manual (245272-006), and AMD K7 errata docs at the level of Intel's PIII (244453-nn) and P4 (249199-nn) specification updates, then I'd be happy to look at the K7 spurious interrupt problem.
Without documentation it's just guesswork, and I don't have time for that.
