None of the patches posted by Björn fix the kernel BUG at
arch/i386/kernel/cpu/perfctr-watchdog.c:126! that occurs when doing
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

Call Trace:
[<c010c429>] single_msr_unreserve+0xd/0x1a
[<c010c668>] disable_lapic_nmi_watchdog+0x27/0x35

Andi, did you have a patch for that?

Cheers,
