[PATCH] x86: Add abilty to enable/disable nmi watchdog from procfs (update) 

Adds a new /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog call that will enable/disable the
nmi watchdog.

By entering a non-zero value here, a user can enable the nmi watchdog to
monitor the online cpus in the system.  By entering a zero value here, a
user can disable the nmi watchdog and free up a performance counter which
could then be utilized by the oprofile subsystem, otherwise oprofile may be
short a counter when in use.

NMI switch that most IA32 servers have fires unknown NMI up, for example.
If a system hangs up, try pressing the NMI switch.
[NOTE]
This function and oprofile share a NMI callback. Therefore this function
cannot be enabled when oprofile is activated.
And NMI watchdog will be disabled when the value in this file is set to
non-zero.
nmi_watchdog
------------
Enables/Disables the NMI watchdog on x86 systems. When the value is non-zero
the NMI watchdog is enabled and will continuously test all online cpus to
determine whether or not they are still functioning properly.
Because the NMI watchdog shares registers with oprofile, by disabling the NMI
watchdog, oprofile may have more registers to utilize.
