Ok, this behavior is definitely new. I get several "nobody cared" about
this interrupt a week. This never used to happen. And something weird
emerges in /proc/interrupts when this happens:
42: 1003292 1212890 PCI-MSI-edge �s����:0000:00:02.0
instead of
42: 1006715 1218472 PCI-MSI-edge i915@pci:0000:00:02.0

It very looks like the generic IRQ handling code is broken. Like it
frees/corrupts irq_desc and then as well calls random handlers.

Suspend/resume cycle helps in this case and "i915@pci:0000:00:02.0" is
back in /proc/interrupts as can be seen above.

Running 3.3.0-next-20120326_64+ now.

thanks,
