I have noticed that the ich driver keeps spinning in ich_intr() on some 
hardware. Could this be happening here too?
I have made the problem go away with the following patch :
http://vitsch.net/bsd/patches/ich.c.patch

I'm not an ICH expert, so I have no idea what the ICH_GLOB_CTL_PRES bit does, 
but I do know that on some hardware the interrupt condition it triggers isn't 
reset in the interrupt handler. With this patch my laptop runs fine without 
loss of functionality (that I could see). But my laptop also boots without 
the patch, so this could be a completely different bug.

Hope this helps,
Daan
