Thanks for CC me. We do have a driver that are using it.

It's the SDEI Wathchdog which is used for hardlockup detection. But I wasn't
able to push it upstream because we have Pseudo-NMI in mainline.

The SDEI Watchdog driver also can't be built as a module. We still need to
modify the origin kernel. So I think this patch doesn't affect me. Thanks for CC me.
