[patch 2/4] percpu enable flag for softlockup watchdog

2007-03-27 Thread Jeremy Fitzhardinge
On a NO_HZ system, there may be an arbitrarily long delay between ticks on a CPU. When we're disabling ticks for a CPU, also disable the softlockup watchdog timer. This makes the touch_softlockup_watchdog() interface redundant; if a piece of code knows its going to be holding off timer
