i like that! One forcedeth annoyance that triggers frequently on one of
my testboxes is:

[ 120.955202] eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
[ 121.233865] eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
[ 129.215450] eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
[ 139.734408] eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
[ 144.546811] eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
[ 153.811005] eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
[ 154.695879] eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
[ 155.455078] eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
[ 173.912162] eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq.
