Description Amir Aharoni 2013-09-11 14:24:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
Process irq/50-mei_me is running at 80% CPU.

/var/log/messages file is getting quickly filled with messages such as:
Sep 11 07:23:39 localhost kernel: [13094.709430] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset: unexpected enumeration response hbm.
Sep 11 07:23:39 localhost kernel: [13094.709435] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING

Sep 11 07:23:39 localhost kernel: [13094.709535] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset: unexpected enumeration response hbm.
Sep 11 07:23:39 localhost kernel: [13094.709538] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING

How reproducible:
This happens all the time.

I need to delete /var/log/messages so as the partition won't get filled up.
