Everyone has his own taste. Obviously there's no world-wide consensus,
possibly because different people have different workflow habits and so
are affected by duplicate messages to varying extents.
Sometimes that is the case but often it isn't. Your expectations are
at variance with other people's behavior; you shouldn't expect everyone
else to change just to match your personal ideals.
On the other hand, I would be perfectly happy to edit your name out of
the reply list -- but since you said you aren't receiving all the
messages in this thread via the list that might not be a good thing to
do at the moment...
The line saying:
is an indication that interrupt routing is indeed not working right.
Or possibly your EHCI controller isn't working. You could try
blacklisting or unloading ehci-hcd to see if that helps. Of course
then none of your USB devices would be able to run at high speed.
Notice that the interrupt count for IRQ 11 doesn't change when you plug
in the device. Obviously something is wrong there.
In fact, it's a little surprising that almost all the USB controllers
are routed to the same IRQ. However this is beyond my area of
expertise. You could try posting a message on the linux-acpi mailing
list; the people there should know a lot more about these issues.
There are some excellent tutorials on the web, with detailed
explanations of how to do a bisection to track down a kernel bug.
