Hi Andrew,
This helps at least on Ingo's and my AMD64@K8T800
and shouldn't bite anybody else.
Please add to -mm for later inclusion into mainline.
Thanks,
Karsten

The VIA VT8237's IOAPIC sends 'APIC De-Assert Messages' by default,
causing another CPU interrupt when the IRQ pin is de-asserted.
This feature is switched off by the patch to get rid of
doubled ioapic level interrupt rates.
