a284b0518d i386: Fix the K7 NMI watchdog checkbit
The performance counters on K7 are only 48 bits wide, so using bit 63 to
check if the counter overflowed is wrong. Let's use bit 47 instead.

57c22f49e4 i386: Handle P6s without performance counters in nmi watchdog
I got an oops while booting a 32bit kernel on KVM because it doesn't
implement performance counters used by the NMI watchdog. Handle this
case.

e82f64e5bb i386: Reserve the right performance counter for the Intel PerfMon NMI watchdog
The Intel PerfMon NMI watchdog reserves the first performance counter,
but uses the second one. Make it correctly reserve the second one.

da88ba17de perfctr-watchdog: fix interchanged parameters to release_{evntsel,perfctr}_nmi
Fix oops triggered during: echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

The culprit seems to be 09198e6850:
[PATCH] i386: Clean up NMI watchdog code

In two places, the parameters to release_{evntsel,perfctr}_nmi
got interchanged during the cleanup.

Fix interchanged parameters to release_{evntsel,perfctr}_nmi.

54c6ed7562 i386: use the right wrapper to disable the NMI watchdog
When disabled through /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog, the NMI watchdog uses the
stop() method directly, which does not decrement the activity counter, leading
to a BUG().  Use the wrapper function instead to fix that.

faa4cfa6b3 i386: fix NMI watchdog not reserving its MSRs
At system boot time, the NMI watchdog no longer reserved its MSRs, allowing
other subsystems to mess with them.  Fix that.

09198e6850 [PATCH] i386: Clean up NMI watchdog code
- Introduce a wd_ops structure
- Convert the various nmi watchdogs over to it
- This allows to split the perfctr reservation from the watchdog
setup cleanly.
- Do perfctr reservation globally as it should have always been
- Remove dead code referenced only by unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs
