I happen to be running a 2.6.9-rc1 kernel right now, with
an IO APIC (P4 UP), and no RTC support built into it,
and /proc/interrupts show IRQ 8 empty/unassigned:
CPU0
0: 777037582 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 185323 IO-APIC-edge i8042
7: 0 IO-APIC-edge parport0
9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
12: 2838473 IO-APIC-edge i8042
14: 1197859 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 42 IO-APIC-edge ide1
17: 49 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx, ohci_hcd
19: 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd
21: 197 IO-APIC-level ohci1394, ohci_hcd, ohci_hcd,
ohci_hcd, ohci_hc
d, ohci_hcd
22: 832350 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd, eth0
23: 16387 IO-APIC-level es1371, uhci_hcd
NMI: 0

Perhaps your .config and a simple test case would help.
