OK, and you are _not_ passing it to a guest right?

Great. Can you do a couple of tests:

1). Boot your Linux machine with 'mem=3G' and see if that makes the issue
    disappear.

2). Tell me what is the 'scan' tool you use? Is it there a command
   line version of the tool that triggers this?

3). Or does this happend when you just load the module and it starts
   doing the IRQ loop detected' thingy?
