I finally tested this.  I added some KTR traces to dump ISRC2 on each
call to msk_intr() and hacked the interrupt thread code to turn KTR tracing
off when a storm occurred.  The traces look like this:

index  cpu timestamp        trace
------ --- ---------------- ----- 
   148   0  111662766108828 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   147   0  111662765994576 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   146   0  111662765380260 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   145   0  111662765257308 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   144   0  111662765134356 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   143   0  111662765011560 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   142   0  111662764888656 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   141   0  111662764773924 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   140   0  111662764659360 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   139   0  111662764528140 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   138   0  111662764413576 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
   137   0  111662764287852 msk_intr: B0_Y2_SP_ISRC2 = 0x44000000
...

(All traces have the same register value.)  The TSC on this netbook runs
at machdep.tsc_freq: 1596035244

(The timestamps above are TSC values.)

Let me know if you'd like me to log more stuff in the driver.  Thanks!
