Subject: [PATCH] x86: nmi - fix incorrect NMI watchdog used by default

Commit

commit 4b82b277707a39b97271439c475f186f63ec4692
Author: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sat May 24 19:36:35 2008 +0400

sets nmi_watchdog to NMI_IO_APIC as by default value
even not being asking to. That causes hangs on some
machines with buggy watchdogs. Fix it - i.e. restore
old behaviour.

Thanks to Sitsofe Wheeler and Adrian Bunk for catching
the problem and Maciej W. Rozycki for explanation what
is going on there.
