FWIW - here's the setup of my systems that have not shown the
problem so far:

Device          IRQ
------          ---

em0             16
em1             17
uhci0           23
uhci1           19
uhci2           18
uhci3           16
ehci0           23
fxp0            16
atapci1         19              This is the SATA300 controller

Is there a method to force the controller to share its IRQ with,
say, em0 for testing?
