Not worth the effort to code around. These bugs generally occur during
development and never get out into the wild.
I guess we could modify the IOInterruptController to detect this case
fairly easy. How about you go to bugreporter and add a feature
request?

clear an interrupt on your card then the system causes an infinite
loop
with interrupts mostly disabled to get the interrupt processed. When
this happens the mouse stops moving and sometimes you can't even 'NMI'
into the system.
Out of curiousity - any reason why the problem device isn't timed out
and removed from the system (with a notification) as a dud
device/driver, rather than torching the rest of the Mac?
