Re: kern/49711 (Interrupts get routed to wrong handler under load)



No improvement.  This is a hardware bug, and the only way to mitigate it
is to make sure the affected interrupt vectors either are disabled, or
have extremely short handling times.  Running in polled mode achieves
that, as does the FreeBSD approach of detecting and suppressing storms.

Should probably be closed "won't fix", as the affected Intel hardware
gets older, and less likely to run NetBSD.
