I wonder if you tried without SMP too?

So, here it's not about irq sharing...

It seems from 2.6.21 the problems are mainly about 'older' network
chips on x86_64. This reverted patch should mean only for those
using disable_irq, but I see forcedeth could use this too so it's
not clear yet, and btw. there where other changes around irqs and
pci, so everybody could have something a bit different with similar
time outs logs...
BTW, Jean-Baptiste and Chuck - it seems, unless you have too much
time, there is no use for testing my "genirq: fix simple and fasteoi
irq handlers" patch.
