Subject: [git pull] kgdb 2.6.27-rc8 fixes 

Linus, please pull the kgdb git tree fixes for 2.6.27-rc8

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/linux-2.6-kgdb.git for_linus

Summary: 

Testing the kgdb with kvm has found 2 problems:
 - NMI code has a race where it can be invoked twice
 - The softlockup watchdog must be touched when running
   with CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC_VALUE=1, else
   the kernel executes a reboot if debugged for too long.
   

Short log follows:

--- 

Jan Kiszka (1):
      kgdb, x86: Avoid invoking kgdb_nmicallback twice per NMI

Jason Wessel (1):
      kgdb: call touch_softlockup_watchdog on resume
