Thanks. BTW. sending the dmidecode directly to me should be sufficient
should you have need to do so again.

Yes, this is normal on ACPI+IOAPIC configs going forward

Better yet, file a bug and we'll look at your ehci interrupt issue in
detail.

thanks,

How to file a bug against ACPI:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ACPI

For failure and success case, please attach
1. dmesg -s64000, or serial console using "debug" on cmdline.
(increase CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT if it doesn't get back to beginning)
2. /proc/interrupts
3. lspci -v

Please attach the output from acpidmp, available in /usr/sbin/, or in
pmtools:
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/
