Interesting. What can cause this to happen?
- some non-pci device shares the same irq (unlikely)
- the pci link sharing is broken. Is the eth0 irq shared?
Please post /proc/interrupts.
- the in-kernel ioapic is buggy and needs the extra kicking the
optimization prevents. Can be checked by re-adding the optimization to
kvm_ioapic_set_irq() (keeping it removed in qemu). If it works, the
problem is in userspace. If it fails, the problem is in the kernel.
Something like
static int old_level[16];
if (level == old_level[irq])
return;
old_level[irq] = level;

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to
panic.
