Could we get rid of all these random 0's, please? (or at least try to
keep them from proliferating).

Either do a:

	register_nmi_handler_source()

that takes a source and leave

	register_nmi_handler()

in place and not take a source. Or, do this:

	retval = register_nmi_handler(NMI_IO_CHECK, hpwdt_pretimeout,
				      0, "hpwdt", NMI_NO_SOURCE);

where the 0 is at least given a symbolic name.
