Try turning off various device drivers (like myk) to see if you can get the 
interrupt storm on IRQ 23 to go away.  It is likely a bug in interrupt 
routing in your BIOS, but you can use a tunable to work around it, you just 
need to figure out which _other_ PCI device (not atapci2) is sending its 
interrupts to IRQ 23 rather than the IRQ the BIOS told the OS.
