Did you boot with the "irqpoll" option?  Judging by the log, it looks 
like you did.

The debugging output show that the EHCI controller was not the source
of the unwanted IRQs.  And /proc/interrupts shows that ehci-hcd is the
only driver using IRQ #17, for the 0000:00:1d.0 device.

The most likely explanation is that there an interrupt-routing error 
and some other device is causing these problems.  I don't know of any 
easy way to find out what the other device is, however.
