"psradm -i" stops a CPU from handling device interrupts, but it may
still take low level interrupts, such as those generated from
CPU cross calls.  For example, the latter are generated to force
TLB shootdowns when a page is unmapped.  Note that in the third
mpstat period, CPU 1 shows 46 xcal's, and CPU 0 shows 48 interrupts.
