Hello Pierre,
This is probably related to the Altra firmware bug that we are trying
to narrow down and work around.
So when the firmware crashes, it is not entirely unexpected that it
might do so with the IRQ flags left in a different state, so this we
should be able to ignore. (Perhaps we should silence that diagnostic
in this case)
Could you share the output of dmidecode on this platform?
Obviously, there is a related issue where some process keeps hitting
on the RTC. Mind testing the below to see if the system is usable
beyond the EFI problems, and perhaps have a stab at figuring out which
process keeps hitting on the RTC like that?
