This may be "THE GREAT CASE OF LOST INTERRUPTS" :-) I haven't heard
that the mse driver looses interrupts, but there may be a possibility
that we loose interrupts on ISA bus under heavy load.
The following patch will add a watch dog timer to the mse driver.
When the bus mouse interrupt seems to be lost, it will print "mse0:
lost interrupt?" and forcefully read from the bus mouse port.
I hope it may get the thing going again.
