Unfortunately it doesn't solve the main issue -- nmi-watchdog events
and cpu clock events should be a separate events with non-intersected
ESCRs, otherwise nmi-watchdog and cpu-cycles can't operate simultaneously
like other PMUs does.

non-sleeping ticks use

[P4_EVENT_EXECUTION_EVENT] = {
.escr_msr = { MSR_P4_CRU_ESCR2, MSR_P4_CRU_ESCR3 },
.cntr = { {12, 13, 16}, {14, 15, 17}
},

while cpu-cycles

[P4_EVENT_GLOBAL_POWER_EVENTS] = {
.escr_msr = { MSR_P4_FSB_ESCR0, MSR_P4_FSB_ESCR1 },
.cntr = { {0, -1, -1}, {2, -1, -1} },
},

Note non-intersection of { MSR_P4_CRU_ESCR2, MSR_P4_CRU_ESCR3 } and
{ MSR_P4_FSB_ESCR0, MSR_P4_FSB_ESCR1 } here (together with counters
itselves pointed by .cntr).
