it means that the NMI watchdog was not activated - i.e. the 'NMI' counts
in /proc/interrupts do not increase. Do you have LOCAL_APIC enabled in
the .config? If yes and if nmi_watchdog=1 does not work either then it's
probably not possible to activate the NMI watchdog on your box. In that
case try nmi_watchdog=0, that should activate normal profiling. (unless
i've broken it via the profile-via-NMI changes ...)
