Subject[015/129] perf, x86, Pentium4: Clear the P4_CCCR_FORCE_OVF flag
2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com>

commit 8d330919927ea31fa083b5a80084dc991da813a0 upstream.

If on Pentium4 CPUs the FORCE_OVF flag is set then an NMI happens
on every event, which can generate a flood of NMIs. Clear it.
