Occasionally the kernel has bugs that result in no irq being found for a given cpu vector. If we acknowledge the irq the system has a good chance of continuing even though we dropped an irq message. If we continue to simply print a message and not acknowledge the irq the system is likely to become non-responsive shortly there after.
