This is well describes the probem.

The decision whether to include asm/nmi.h should not depend only on
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_* when it is needed also for other stuff.

Well, it could not be always included because it exists only
on 4 architectures:

$> ls -1 arch/*/include/asm/nmi.h
arch/powerpc/include/asm/nmi.h
arch/s390/include/asm/nmi.h
arch/sparc/include/asm/nmi.h
arch/x86/include/asm/nmi.h

and include/asm-generic/nmi.h. does not exist.

I see two reasonable solutions:

1. We either create an empty "include/asm-generic/nmi.h" and
   always include asm/nmi.h in linux/nmi.h.

   It looks is a bit weird but it might be the easiest solution
   unless it creates another problems elsewhere.

2. Explicitely include asm/nmi.h where needed, in
   arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/mobility.c and maybe somewhere as
   well.

   It is already done in many cases:

$> git grep asm/nmi.h
arch/Kconfig:     asm/nmi.h, and defines its own arch_touch_nmi_watchdog().

I would personally prefer the 2nd variant.

I am going to check other locations where it might be needed.
