high CPU activity for interrupts

Hello,

This is with FreeBSD 5.4-REL on a Fujitsu-Siemens notebook, type Amilo.
Without inserting or using any PCMCIA card from time ti time I see
an increasing temperature of the CPU (this was the only reason why
I noted it at all) and top shows:

CPU states:  0.8% user,  0.0% nice,  0.4% system, 22.9% interrupt, 76.0% idle

The high rate of interrupts are coming from cardbus somehow:

$ vmstat -i
interrupt                          total       rate
irq0: clk                        1526386         99
irq1: atkbd0                       19720          1
irq4: sio0                             2          0
irq6: fdc0                            10          0
irq7:                                  3          0
stray irq7                             3          0
irq8: rtc                        1953511        127
irq9: acpi0                         1102          0
irq11: cbb1 pcm0++*            126785936       8304 <***********
irq12: psm0                       116294          7
irq14: ata0                        70657          4
irq15: ata1                        33673          2
Total                          130507297       8548

Some more infos from sysctl:

$ sysctl -a | fgrep cbb

What can I do?
