Subject: [PATCH 48/45] sparc64: Fix reset hangs on Niagara systems.

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

[ Upstream commit ffaba674090f287afe0c44fd8d978c64c03581a8 ]

Hypervisor versions older than version 1.6.1 cannot handle
leaving the profile counter overflow interrupt chirping
when the system does a soft reset.

So use a reboot notifier to shut off the NMI watchdog.
