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
