 I gather this is an extension to the existing interface already covering 
the local APIC NMI watchdog, which surely ;) must have been documented at 
the time it was added.  If it wasn't, then we cannot require it now as a 
prerequisite to accept this patch, although such documentation would be 
desirable as a separate submission.
