Tracking it back it was introduced quite a while back (rev 1.13) of the
file which made the section of the file containg the irq description
strings read only (but the irq_claim code writes them).
The following patch fixes this issue and also corrects another bug that
causes the interrupt names to get corrupted in systat. The legacy irq
counter code expects all the irq names to be the same length and this
patch restores that behaviour.
This needs a pullup to 8.0 (which has exactly the same bug). 7.1 is also
impacted but I've not actually run the patch there. With this patch
applied current and 8.0-BETA actually boot up and work pretty much the
same as the previous rather ancient 6.99.40 kernel it was running before
and there doesn't appear to be any obvious performance drop with the new
code.
Take back the performance comment. Something is monumentally wrong with
the 8.0-BETA ps. It takes ages to run:
For comparison:
# file /bin/ps
/bin/ps: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1, dynamically linked
(uses shared libs), for NetBSD 6.99.40, compiled for: arm, not stripped
# time ps>/dev/null
0.22 real 0.02 user 0.18 sys
And in a chroot with the 8.0-BETA userland:
# file /bin/ps
/bin/ps: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, version 1 (ARM), dynamically
linked, interpreter /libexec/ld.elf_so, for NetBSD 8.0, compiled for:
arm, not stripped
# time ps >/dev/null
8.19 real 1.25 user 6.62 sys
#
I'd guess the bug is in the libraries as running the 8.0 ps with the
6.99.40 libraries performs at the same speed as the native 6.99.40 binary.

I've spotted some other issues:
1. Slight misdetect of the NE2000 derived ethernet chip
2. Hangs when attempt is made to reboot.
3. Bad behaviour in ddb.
I've run into these before and I've got some rather hacky fixes. Once
they are cleaned up I'll send out another message with patches for those
as well.
