Yes, when MSI was disabled i had irq-balancing in the kernel on, i
rebooted without the irqbalance daemon and it showed no reaction on the
cpu's. When i enabled the irqbalance daemon then i got finally reaction
from the cpu's.

I'm also curious if this will solve those random freezes...which somehow
i suspect have to do with the tvcard and maybe having MSI on.
