I think I'm seeing something related here, with the old interrupt code I
got:
<...>
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...               
ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory
stray irq 7

With the new interrupt code I get:
<...>
OK boot
cpuid = 0; apic id = 00
instruction pointer     = 0x0:0xa00
stack pointer           = 0x0:0xffe
frame pointer           = 0x0:0x0
code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0x0, type 0x0
                        = DPL 0, pres 0, def32 0, gran 0
processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, vm86, IOPL = 0

kernel: type 30 trap, code=0

However, if I enter 'continue' at the DDB prompt it continues to boot
and the system seems to runs fine:

<...>

Neiter the spurious interrupt patch nor setting 'options NO_MIXED_MODE'
makes a difference. This is on a Tyan Tiger MPX S2466N-4M board, a full
verbose boot log is at: http://quad.zeist.de/newintr.log
