Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [RFC] nmi_watchdog: config option to enable new nmi_watchdog
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:03:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1264622622-5778-4-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1264622622-5778-1-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com>

These are the bits that enable the new nmi_watchdog and safely isolate the
old nmi_watchdog.  Only one or the other can run, not both at the same
time.
