Disabling the watchdog is unfortunate. Why is it necessary?
perf always uses NMI, so we disable the nmi_watchdog when a perf_event is
set up in case they might have impact.
Ok. Is that the case for the hardware pmus as well? If so it might be
done in common code.
The x86 hardware pmu implementation disables the lapic watchdog too, but
recent kernels come with a watchdog implementation on top of perf, the
old lapic one will be depricated.
So this should indeed be in common code, and removed (for all pmus) when
the new watchdog is merged in 2.6.36.
