Subject: tickle NMI watchdog on serial output.
From: Dave Jones <davej@xxxxxxxxxx>
Serial is _slow_ sometimes. So slow, that the NMI watchdog kicks in.

I initially did the patch below a year ago for the Fedora kernel, and have
been keeping it up to date since. I recently got the same thing happening
