Please also add something like "enable debug for more information" to the warning. And then print out the current and previous interrupt if DEBUG is enabled. And in the comments mention that often the spurious interrupts has been fixed by adding a flush of the posted write to the previous interrupt handler in the device driver. Also, do you have a reproducable test case with mainline kernel I could add to my collection of shell scripts?
