I blacklisted the snd-hda-intel driver, and hey presto, no more errors. In the original submitter's case, both IRQ #16 and IRQ #17 got disabled; but on my system IRQ #16 is the VGA controller, and #17 the audio device. I noted too that on the first report mentioning IRQ #17, the handlers include azx_interrupt which belongs to snd-hda-intel... So it might be worth trying to add blacklist snd-hda-intel to /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf for example, and running update-initramfs -u to make sure it's not loaded from the initramfs.
