Ok.

That's broken. /proc/interrupts gives some hint:

1) Stock kernel

900k ACPI interrupts right after boot

One minute later it's 4.8M

With affinity forced to CPU0 it's even more:

7.5M right after boot

10.9M after one minute. Though the delta between right after boot and 1
minute later is in the same ballpark.

Cc'ed the ACPI people for clues.

Thanks,
