Well, I have the same system (board is Deluxe version) and no such situation.

Hmm, I don't have this though. "IO-APIC-edge timer" is the closest in my box.

Well, the "usual answer" is try enable/disable PREEMPT, upgrade BIOS.
Also IO-APIC and APIC as a whole.
Here is my board:
$ cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
0: 415667195 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 184380 IO-APIC-edge i8042
8: 2 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
14: 865112 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 9195 IO-APIC-edge ide1
19: 31371344 IO-APIC-level nvidia
20: 8356973 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd, NVidia nForce2, eth0
21: 0 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd
22: 798076 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd
NMI: 0
LOC: 415691931
ERR: 0
MIS: 0
$ bash -c 'cat /proc/interrupts ; sleep 1; cat /proc/interrupts'| grep ehci
20: 8357517 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd, NVidia nForce2, eth0
20: 8357530 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd, NVidia nForce2, eth0
