On my Nehalem box, the kgdb tests work fine, no issues there. On my P4
box, the p4 handler really thinks the NMIs are from the perf counter and
returns handled==1 and starves the kgdb tests.

I haven't gotten around to checking Jason's kvm setup to determine which
handler his setup is calling.

Jason, could you snip part of your dmesg log that shows the output with
"Performance Events:" (or just send me the whole thing :-) ).

Cheers,
Don
