So in run-time it could be disabled after it booted up.
Well, with the new code I have watchdog_enabled which does the same thing. With the nmi watchdog moving to generic code, the idea was to call it a hardlockup detector. I guess I was trying to rename things to avoid using nmi all over the place to reflect the idea that a hardlockup might be able to be used by something other than an nmi.
I can probably wrap this around watchdog_enabled to preserve it I suppose. Let me know.
Cheers, Don
