Well, as is probably expected doing a cold boot of the system fixed
the issue (a warm reboot did not), so I'm guessing the hardware was
simply in a bad state.  It seems a bit excessive to me that this code
can spin in the kernel for up to a second, and it appears on my system
it was doing this every two seconds.
