[PATCH for 2.6.23] [1/3] i386: Fix perfctr watchdog on core duo

[Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>]

From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

Fix the NMI watchdog on Intel CoreDuo processor where the
kernel would get stuck during boot. The issue is related to
errata AE49, where the PERFEVTSEL1 counter does not have a
working enable bit. Thus it is not possible to use it for NMI.
The patch creates a dedicated wd_ops for CoreDuo which falls
back to using PERFEVTSEL0. The other Intel processors supporting
the architectural PMU will keep on using PERFEVTSEL1 as this
allows other subsystems, such as perfmon, to use PERFEVTSEL0 for
PEBS monitoring in particular.
Bug initially reported by Daniel Walker.
