I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg
IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are
presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common
enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day.

Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause
of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are
occurring.
