Ok, now I'm going through the git logs, between March 14, when 2.6.38 was released, and March 29, the date of .39-rc1. As I can get time., I'll pull, build, and test versions that seem to have interrupt-related changes.

The earliest change that looked important was this, on March 16:

  Merge branch 'irq-core-for-linus'

  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=5f6fb45466b2273ffb91c9cf209f164f666c33b1

The breakage has not shown up yet; this kernel tested out fine.

There are changes in the interrupt code committed by Thomas Gleixner; a couple on the 17th, and several on the 23rd and after. I hope to get to these soon.
