arch/mips/cobalt/irq.c:cobalt_irq() looks pretty suspect.  It connects
CAUSEF_IP7 and interrupt 23 - but the CPU's builtin count / compare
interrupt already uses this bit.

Sharing the timer interrupt with something else isn't impossible but seems
a less than bright thing to do.  Somebody with production hw to test
should compare this interrupt dispatch function with old working code
from 2.2 or 2.4 ...
