This looked promising, however it looks like the UPX-i11 needs the DMI
quirk.

Should this be dev_warn or even dev_info level?
It is done delibaretly and it is handled as planned, so it is not really
an error?

unsigned long storm_window;
..
storm_window = priv->last_unhandled_irq + msecs_to_jiffies(10);
if (time_after(jiffies, storm_window))
	priv->unhandled_irqs = 0;

priv->unhandled_irqs++;

Will the kernel step in and disbale the IRQ before we would have
detected the storm?
I don't know top of my head the trigger in core to stop an interrupt
storm...

This is more like an error than just unhandled IRQ. Yes, it was ignored,
probably because it is common?

Should disable_interrupts() be called instead (with the locality
request/relinquish)?

Is there a chance of a race or is a race matters?
