Hi,

-> compiling 2.6.12-rc2-mm1 on amd64 :

arch/x86_64/kernel/nmi.c:116: error: static declaration of
'check_nmi_watchdog' follows non-static declaration
include/asm/apic.h:102: error: previous declaration of
'check_nmi_watchdog' was here

I guess the fix is easy enough :)

-> while I am it, I got a soft lookup on a bi-opteron using
2.6.12-rc1-mm4 (while stressing reiser4 with rsync so I guess it is
reiser4's fault ;)
config at
http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~mmarcha/config-2.6.12-rc1-mm4.gz

I also got some "flushing like mad" warning messages from reiser4 (which
are safe apparently).

BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!
