Ingo Molnar 6ebf622b25 [PATCH] disable NMI watchdog by default
there's a new NMI watchdog related problem: KVM crashes on certain
bzImages because ... we enable the NMI watchdog by default (even if the
user does not ask for it) , and no other OS on this planet does that so
KVM doesnt have emulation for that yet. So KVM injects a #GP, which
crashes the Linux guest:

 general protection fault: 0000 [#1]
 PREEMPT SMP
 Modules linked in:
 CPU:    0
 EIP:    0060:[<c011a8ae>]    Not tainted VLI
 EFLAGS: 00000246   (2.6.20-rc5-rt0 #3)
 EIP is at setup_apic_nmi_watchdog+0x26d/0x3d3

and no, i did /not/ request an nmi_watchdog on the boot command line!

Solution: turn off that darn thing! It's a debug tool, not a 'make life
harder' tool!!

with this patch the KVM guest boots up just fine.

And with this my laptop (Lenovo T60) also stopped its sporadic hard
hanging (sometimes in acpi_init(), sometimes later during bootup,
sometimes much later during actual use) as well. It hung with both
nmi_watchdog=1 and nmi_watchdog=2, so it's generally the fact of NMI
injection that is causing problems, not the NMI watchdog variant, nor
any particular bootup code.

[ NMI breaks on some systems, esp in combination with SMM -Arjan ]
