     Actually, the above says you have two *single-core* CPUs with
hyperthreading enabled.

     Have you looked to see which device(s) you have at IRQ 9?  Is there some
problem with the device(s)?

     You deleted part of the startup messages, so we can't see what you have
at IRQ 9.  Go back and look at either dmesg(1) output or /var/log/messages
to find out what device(s) interrupt(s) at IRQ 9.  Then check for anything
weird about the device activity.
