Now, when I repeat vmstat -i, all of these numbers (or rather, all of the
large numbers) increase _except_ for `rtc irq8`.

So is this just a simple broken clock on the system, as in, my hardware
clock is physically broken/breaking ?

dmesg says nothing about irq8, so I assume there is no conflict.

Further, regarding the APM conjecture, this is a server and (although I
may be mistaken) does not have APM in the bios at all - I have also
removed it from the kernel.  dmesg tends to confirm the absence of APM.
