Has anyone noticed the latest nvidia binary driver driving their interrupt
load up? I have:
nvidia0: <GeForce 8700M GT> port 0xef00-0xef7f mem
0xfd000000-0xfdffffff,0xd0000000-0xdfffffff,0xfa000000-0xfbffffff irq 16 at
device 0.0 on pci3
nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
nvidia0: [ITHREAD]
nvidia1: <GeForce 8700M GT> port 0xdf00-0xdf7f mem
0xf7000000-0xf7ffffff,0xe0000000-0xefffffff,0xf8000000-0xf9ffffff irq 17 at
