Any chance of pr_debug'ing the complete status register each time you
service an interrupt?  You'll probably need to set the kernel log
buffer fairly large to ensure that you capture everything.

I wouldn't recommend dumping the messages through the serial port
directly as that'd put far too much latency on the servicing of them,
but using dmesg after the accesses to retrieve them.  (IOW, don't
pass 'debug' to the kernel...)
