Or enabling acpi=force as a kernel boot parameter. It turns out (after
close inspection of the boot messages) that the ACPI table of the
motherboard is crappy and is not used by default and acpi=force is
hinted at in the output. After forcing the use of ACPI I have this
/proc/interrupts:

           CPU0
  0:         67   IO-APIC-edge      timer
  1:          2   IO-APIC-edge      i8042

Which looks even more sane than it already did ;)
Hope this helps other users of VIA MB's in the future and if Ronald is
listening: try it. Curious if it works for you as well.
