Slowly getting more confident in this theory. Peter, you could increase
the confidence further by binding the IRQ #16 to a single core (e.g.
echo 1 > /proc/irq/16/smp_affinity, make sure to stop irqbalance first
in case it's running).

Moreover, edge handling looks similarly broken: We ack the IRQ early,
there is no further masking, but we do not block delivery /wrt other
cores - in contrast to Linux which has IRQ_INPROGRESS, checked and set
atomically along with the ack (if I-pipe is off). And this issue should
not only affect Linux, Xenomai may get equally unhappy if ever faced
with a bunch of shared edge RT-IRQs on a SMP box. Uff.
