Subject: [PATCH] x86: nmi - fix incorrect NMI watchdog used by default
Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 23:00:47 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080528190047.GE6910@cvg> (raw)

The commit

	commit 4b82b277707a39b97271439c475f186f63ec4692
	Author: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com>
	Date:   Sat May 24 19:36:35 2008 +0400

set nmi_watchdog to NMI_IO_APIC as by default. This causes hangs on some
machines with buggy watchdogs. Fix it - i.e. restore old behaviour.

Thanks to Sitsofe Wheeler and Adrian Bunk for catching the problem
and Maciej W. Rozycki for explanation what is going on there.
