You are not alone. I see very similar stuff when I boot a system with a large
number of interfaces. At first it was almost every interface generating the
messages or ones like them, but now with a patch applied (might have come via Jeff?)

Interestingly (?) when I look at my eth7 interface via ethtool I see:
hpcpc103:~/linux-2.6.24-rc1# ethtool -i eth7
driver: Neterion
version: 2.0.26.5
firmware-version:
bus-info: 0000:0f:01.0
but if I look for it in /proc/interrupts I don't see it:
hpcpc103:~/linux-2.6.24-rc1# cat /proc/interrupts | grep eth7
hpcpc103:~/linux-2.6.24-rc1#
and if I look at all of /proc/interrupts:
