Unfortunately Alan is right. On my MIPS ISA boxes I've often seen the i8259 interrupt 7 being triggered. Some drivers actually will barf when the interrupt handler is triggered while the device didn't. You may also checkout arch/ppc/kernel/i8259.c:i8259_irq() which has special treatment for interrupt 7.
