no, AFAIK there is no performance counter support in the vanilla kernel, but there is an NMI oopser. And even if there was performance counter support, having a default NMI oopser on UP *is* a much higher priority.
and there is no forcing here. nmi_watchdog=0 on bootup and the NMI watchdog is disabled. (right now this is not enforced for the APIC-NMI, but thats a detail.)
