When you start having interrupt problems, and they are fixed by nomp,
it's a good bet the motherboard has a bad MP table. Many, many boards
have tables that are quite broken. Vendors frequently change IRQ
hardware structure and the general rule is ACPI will likely be right,
because Windows wants it to be; PIRQ will likely be right; but for
some reason, _MP_ is many times quite wrong.
