This one is related to libata.  Known problem:
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3880

Silicon Image 311x throws interrupts after we told the hardware to disable interrupts, but only for a few certain devices and/or PATA bridges. I only have theories as to the solution.

I made a failed attempt to solve it here:
    http://search.luky.org/linux-kernel.2005/msg14830.html

This patch from Albert Lee might solve it, but the patch itself needs bug fixes:
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=112628285200005&r=1&w=2

Also, defining ATA_IRQ_TRAP in include/linux/libata.h may work around the problem.

Plenty more info available on request. Nothing changed in this area with regards to 2.6.12/2.6.13, so I presume that ACPI has simply exposed the existing problem for you. :(
