Hmm, as Takashi reminded me, this box has two audio controllers. So
could it be that when we shutdown and disable MSI, the interrupts get
routed to to IRQ16 and they overflow there? Just a wild guess, I guess.

I very well can imagine that those two audio controllers to be one where
some f*cked up BIOS shim switches between the two but can't keep them
apart properly.

Something like the HPET fiascos...

* This is irq counts with my patch to expedite RCU grace periods:

- before suspend:
# grep snd /proc/interrupts
  16:       1304       1340       1335       1329       1293       1348       1357       1363   IO-APIC-fasteoi   snd_hda_intel
  90:          3          3          4          4          4          4          3          3   PCI-MSI-edge      snd_hda_intel

- after resume:
# grep snd /proc/interrupts
  16:       1354       1389       1386       1380       1344       1400       1409       1495   IO-APIC-fasteoi   snd_hda_intel
  90:          0          0          0          0          0          0          0          5   PCI-MSI-edge      snd_hda_intel


* "normal" RCU grace periods:

- before suspend:
# grep snd /proc/interrupts
  16:        109        108        107        108        108        108        109        111   IO-APIC-fasteoi   snd_hda_intel
  90:          3          3          4          4          4          4          3          3   PCI-MSI-edge      snd_hda_intel

- after resume:
# grep snd /proc/interrupts
  16:        154        154        153        155        157        157        235        164   IO-APIC-fasteoi   snd_hda_intel
  90:          0          0          0          0          0          0          5          0   PCI-MSI-edge      snd_hda_intel
