Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86, NMI: add back unknown_nmi_panic and nmi_watchdog sysctls
Originally adapted from Huang Ying's patch which moved the unknown_nmi_panic
to the traps.c file. Because the old nmi watchdog was deleted before this
change happened, the unknown_nmi_panic sysctl was lost. This re-adds it.
Also, the nmi_watchdog sysctl was re-implemented and its documentation
updated accordingly.

+ Valid num: 0
0 - turn nmi_watchdog off
- 1 - use the IO-APIC timer for the NMI watchdog
- 2 - use the local APIC for the NMI watchdog using
- a performance counter. Note: This will use one

When panic is specified, panic when an NMI watchdog
timeout occurs.
This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
need the box quickly up again.

- Example: nmi_watchdog=2 or nmi_watchdog=panic,lapic
