OK, this has nothing to do with -rc3 vs. -rc4.
If I kill the drive with reading a 1GB file with dd, I get the above
errors, include the one from do_IRQ.
If I kill the drive with writing a 1GB file with dd, I do not get the
do_IRQ error.
As I tested the earlier -rcs only with writes, I didn't see it there.
(Its not even in the old logs that contain the libata errors)

Should I try to put some printks in arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c
__assign_irq_vector() or is there a better way to look at the irq
vectors?
