Hmmm... Once properly initialized, ahci is highly unlikely to cause
runaway IRQs which results in nobody cared.  It has proper IRQ mask and
pending bits allowing the driver to reliably detect when and why the
controller is raising interrupt and disable it if necessary.  Can you
try without the NVIDIA module?
