[PATCH 2/2] Reserve the right performance counter for the Intel PerfMon NMI watchdog

[Björn Steinbrink]

The Intel PerfMon NMI watchdog was using the generic reservation
function which always reserves the first performance counter. But the
watchdog actually uses the second performance counter, thus we need a
specialised function.
