Okay, perhaps it is the Ethernet driver that's causing the ksoftirq/1
thread to spin at 100% cpu usage.  I really need to track this down,
because I'm losing bits in my TV records when this happens, and it's
also causing other bits to be delayed.

Maybe I should move my MySQL database to another machine?
