have you tried to boot you machine with the kernel parameter ec_burst=1. This 
works on my machine. Up to kernel 2.6.11 I've used Rich Townsends spinlock 
patch. But afterwards i found a posting from Luming Yu in which he asked to 
try his patche which should solve this interrupt issue. And fortunately his 
patches found the way to the kernel-sources :-)
Perhaps you should have a look at /drivers/acpi/ec.c. If there is something 
like setup("ec_burst= ...  you may give this a try.

regards and good luck
