Bah. Ignore this. I misread the code completely. No idea where my brain
was.

This thing triggers only when there are 100K interrupts and 99.9k of
them unhandled. The 100k total resets the unhandled counts.

Though one thing which strikes me odd is that this actually triggers at
all because it needs 99.9k unhandled out of 100k total. That means on
average every thread handler invocation handles 1000 hardware interrupts
in one go. Is that even realistic?
