Description:

Powertop reports in excess of 20k interrupts a second since upgrading to kernel 3.2.12

96,6% (21546,0) [acpi] <interrupt>

This completely trashes battery lifetime and forces my loud fans to spin up :(

dmesg shows the kernel disabling PCI interrupts periodically

[ 156.986153] uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: PCI INT A disabled
[ 156.986434] uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: PCI INT B disabled
[ 156.986779] uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.2: PCI INT C disabled
[ 156.987091] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: PCI INT C disabled

I'm sure this must be some kernel regression, but I file this for other Archers that may experience the same behaviour.
This task depends upon
