Subject: [PATCH] [7/11] i386: Do not include other cpus' interrupt 0 in nmi_watchdog


From: Keith Owens <kaos@....com.au>
kstat_irqs(0) includes the count of interrupt 0 from all cpus, not just
the current cpu.  The updated interrupt 0 on other cpus can stop the
nmi_watchdog from tripping, so only include the current cpu's int 0.
