The interesting question is why that spurious APIC interrupt through vector
ff happens. Can you please add the following to the kernel command line:

'trace_events=irq_vectors:* ftrace_dump_on_oops'

and apply the patch below. That should spill out the trace over serial (I
hope you have that ...)

Thanks,
