[Bug 80539] ohci_hcd driver causes interrupt flood, high load

[Ryan Lovett]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8

On our Sun x4600, there is a phantom CPU load of about 9.4 and no
processes seemingly consuming resources. /proc/interrupts reveals that
the ohci_hcd kernel module is spewing interrupts and when it is unloaded
the CPU load goes down. Unfortunately this removes keyboard and mouse
support which is important. google revealed similar reports:
