Both the perf reconfiguration and the powerpc watchdog_nmi_reconfigure() need to be done in two steps. 1) Stop all NMIs 2) Read the new parameters and start NMIs Right now watchdog_nmi_reconfigure() is a combination of both. To allow a clean reconfiguration add a 'run' argument and split the functionality in powerpc.
