Hi Don, moving out old nmi-watchdog in a sake of new perf based one is
definitely a win I believe. And I didn't find anything suspicious in patch
series as well.

Though it's a bit pity that we eventually drop old io-apic based watchdog ;)
I never used it personally since apic on mine cpu works well enough but still
I think the io-apic watchdog code was pretty interesting to read and I believe
it worked well with old pit timer.
