Also I think it would be interesting to add documentation about the NMI
oopser on 2.2 tree, so people experiencing SMP lockups can get the patch
at Ingo's NMI URL and send us useful oopses.

What you think about that woke gnome? (aka Alan Cox) If you agree, I can
get 2.3's Documentation/nmi_watchdog.txt, add the URL to Ingo's 2.2 NMI
port, and send you a diff against 2.2.
