Just following up my own post...
I _did_ see that huge among of interrupts in eata_dma.
However, I have determinted that is not causing the mouse problems I'm seeing.
2.1.126 is also giving me problems with /dev/psaux and there is no interrupt problem here.
For me, erratic mouse behavior and SCSI tape failures are the only problems I'm having in 2.1 right now.
