Yep, IRQ 11 is a bit crowded...
I was just about to ask a similar question...
How do I have a better interrupt table (no or less shared intrerupts) with ACPI?
My system (just rebooted) says:
$ cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
0: 1434691 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 5158 IO-APIC-edge i8042
8: 2 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
14: 8097 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 959 IO-APIC-edge ide1
19: 105118 IO-APIC-level nvidia
20: 17455 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd, eth0, NVidia nForce2
21: 0 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd
22: 16156 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd
NMI: 0
LOC: 1434624
ERR: 0
MIS: 0
The "problem" here might be IRQ 20 when I am using my scanner@4800dpi (USB2.0, Epson GT-X700) writing the output via NFS (through eth0). Will test the numbers some other time.
Kalin.
