These two patches make use of __acpi_nmi_disable() to make possible to:
- enable and disable IOAPIC NMI watchdog using procfs
- disable NMI generation if the NMI watchdog is not working on boot time

Thanks, I'll see if I can find some time soon to give them a hit -- I've
got a serial console on my laptop now, :) so any odd boot-time tests will
be easier for me. These would be best tested with Ingo's APIC tree, a
current snapshot of which I may not have handy. Ping me if I don't
respond within a few days.

okay - they look reasonable so i've applied Aristeu's patches to
tip/x86/apic and integrated them into tip/master, we'll see how they
work out.
Please Ack/Nak them once you have the time to have a close look.

Pong. Recent weeks have been rather hectic for me. I'll see if I can
find an hour or so over the Christmas period. The thing is to test 2/2
properly I need to tweak the sources to pretend the IRQ routing tables on
my system are different than they really are and it takes a short while.
We shall see. Thanks for your patience. :)
