Hi Babu,

This patch tested fine on my x86 box and I am ok with the changes.

I do have one small cosmetic request below for a failure path.  Other than
that I will give my ack.

Cheers,

In the arch_watchdog_nmi_enable code is a pr_info on failure

	pr_info("Shutting down hard lockup detector on all cpus\n");

that should be moved to below..

moved to here:

		pr_info("Shutting down hard lockup detector on all cpus\n");


This lets the failure message be displayed on all arches instead of just
x86.  Though I guess sparc does not call theirs 'hard lockup detector'.
Hmm...
