This patch breaks the NMI on my crufty old dual-PIII supermicro p6dbe
machine:


Testing NMI watchdog ... CPU#0: NMI appears to be stuck (26->26)!
CPU#1: NMI appears to be stuck (0->0)!


vmm:/home/akpm> cat /proc/interrupts

0: 59 0 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 2 0 IO-APIC-edge i8042
2: 0 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade
6: 3 0 IO-APIC-edge floppy
8: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc

NMI: 26 0

and it isn't changing.
