Thomas, thanks for cleaning that up.
You may add to patches 03/04:
Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>
On a side-note, there is sadly no general function like
turn_off_all_kind_of_runtime_hang_detectors()
which turns off *all* detectors at once (including soft lockup detector).
I've seen another detector complaing at runtime that we were hanging
here. I would need to dig up more info if you are interested...
