Subject: Re: Flooded by do_IRQ: 0.91 No irq handler for vector

I'm really concerned that all those interrupts might slow down the
computer somehow...
Here is an attached syslog part after a reboot.
Sometimes, the ratelimit says that thousands of callbacks were suppressed.
Is there a way to make this message be displayed only once?

In arch/x86/kernel/irq.c, the line 213 is:
irq = __get_cpu_var(vector_irq)[vector];

In my case, the returned irq is -1. Doesn't it makes sense to not log
the "No irq handler for vector" message when irq < 0?

Or even a deeper answer: Why, in my case, the resulting irq is -1?
