[PATCH 4/5] x86: APIC/SMP: Downgrade the NMI watchdog for "nosmp"

From: Maciej W. Rozycki
Date: Thu Jun 05 2008 - 22:29:40 EST


If configured to use the I/O APIC, the NMI watchdog is deemed to fail if
the chip has been deactivated as a result of "nosmp". Downgrade to the
local APIC watchdog similarly to what is done for the UP case.
