This fix gets the NMI to tick like the timer (in /proc/interrupts) .. However, now that it's ticking I don't think it's actually working properly ..
I used this simple test case given by you a long time ago,
main () { iopl(3); for (;;) asm("cli");
}
This doesn't look like a regression tho, 2.6.19-rc6 has the same behavior ..
