OK, I guess standing alone this description was a bit misleading.
The code referred to here is the new code supporting the ACPI NMI SRC
structure that can be specified in the MADT. Without ACPI support this
code is not relevant. All the code touched by this patch was introduced
by eariler versions of this patchset.
This patch makes no changes to the workings of nmi_watchdog.
