[PATCH] x86: Add abilty to enable/disable nmi watchdog from procfs (update)
Adds a new /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog call that will enable/disable the
nmi watchdog.
By entering a non-zero value here, a user can enable the nmi watchdog to
monitor the online cpus in the system. By entering a zero value here, a
user can disable the nmi watchdog and free up a performance counter which
could then be utilized by the oprofile subsystem, otherwise oprofile may be
short a counter when in use.
