I've been seeing spurious irq16 on a USB port with no devices attached
for Xen for some time now, resulting in

        irq 16: nobody cared
        
on boot and 

         Disabling IRQ #16
        
ten minutes later once it reaches 100,000 unhandled interrupts.  With
today's build, including Keir's latest APIC changes, not only is serial
console input fixed (thanks Keir!), but the spurious IRQ also seems to
be solved.  (At least, at the time of writing that box is showing only
at 15,000 interrupts on irq16 after an hour instead of 100,000 after 10
minutes --- so I should know in another 5 hours whether or not it
actually still gets disabled at 100,000.)
