I think the problem (bug) here is that I have nothing assigned to IRQ7 and
in addition to increasing the stray irq 7 counter by one NetBSD feels it
should increase one other counter too - and so it increases the last one.
It has nothing to do with com2 speficially, because if I remove com2, I
still get them to one of the counters - currently to my soundblaster ;-)
I will take a look at vector.s which seems to do the counting - although
my knowledge of assembler is very limited, so if someone know where the
problem is, be my guest.
However, my opinion is, that this is a very low priority bug, because it
causes no harm whatsoever (except aesthetically ;-)
