Subject: [24/30] sparc64: Fix NMI programming when perf events are active.

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

------------------

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

[ Upstream commit 8183e2b38480672a1f61d416812ac078ce94b67b ]

If perf events are active, we should not reset the %pcr to
PCR_PIC_PRIV.  That perf events code does the management.
