	That's one I hadn't heard of before.  I knew about the HZ and 
ACPI issues, which are not unique to Linux, but hdparm settings seems 
to me like it would be something that probably would be unique to 
Linux.

	Does anyone have any more in-depth information on the issue of 
hdparm settings causing massive loss of interrupts like this?
