I am inclined to believe it IS a hardware problem... If disable_irq were buggy, wouldn't the problem occur more frequently in other irq-heavy areas? A quick count shows that disable_irq* is used in 84 sourcefiles in the driver/* directory. This includes drivers which generate many interrupts in a short timeframe (like ide).
