Spinning with interrupts disabled. The problem with kdb on ia64 is
that the ia64 kernel has no equivalent of the i386 NMI watchdog.
Without the NMI watchdog, there is no way to interrupt a disabled spin
loop so you cannot get into kdb.
Does anybody have any ideas for an ia64 NMI watchdog? I could use a
performance counter, which is what I did on i386 UP machines. But I
prefer a mechanism that does not need a dedicated performance counter.
