Thank you for the info!  Now to figure out what the heck is causing this.

I am also guessing that your system does have hardware that could do an
irq 16.  Of course, if removing or disabing this hardware is an option,
it would be interesting to see what happens.  Especially given that at the
very bottom of the .jpg, there is a chopped-off line that appears to read
"Disabling IRQ #16".  Which of course leads me to wonder whether we hit
a race between the last interrupt arriving and the device being disabled.

Hmmm...  Do you have either CONFIG_PM_SLEEP, SUPPORT_VGA_SWITCHEROO,
or CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME set for these runs?

Adding Takashi Iwai on CC in case he has any insight.
