I was thinking too should there be proper acknowledging for the SMB_ALERT but since the driver currently doesn't have support for it I wanted to see does simple disabling help.

Fortunately I was able to reproduce issue locally in an another platform where the SMB_ALERT was connected to a resistor and was able to pull-down the signal by a wire. Interrupt storm begins when the SMB_ALERT goes down for a moment and continues after.

I'll test a bit more and make a proper patch. One thing I'm wondering should the driver restore the original disable status on driver removal like what is done for host notify in i801_disable_host_notify().
