 Whatever changes made it into 7.1-RELEASE appear to have mostly fixed
 the problem.  With 7.1 the system runs fine except for the problem
 described below.
 
 
 After about 7 hours of uptime the system fails due to an interrupt storm
 between what looks like the nVidia controller, network interface, and
 USB controller.  Changing the em0 interface status to down stops the
 interrupt storm however it returns as soon as the interface is enabled
 again.
 
 Let me know if you need more data.
 
 Thanks,

 dmesg log:
 ============

  "interrupt storm detected on "irq21:";  throttling interrupt source"

 The above repeats regularly but is partially squelched by "last message
 repeated x times" messages.
