KERN_EMERG is a bit extreme but they're often real bugs.  That message
only fires if we've received a ton of interrupts with nothing handling
them, which means there's a device somewhere that we're either not
handling properly or not ignoring properly.

I think we'd need the content of /proc/interrupts and probably the
output of lspci -v to be able to do anything with the bug report.
