    x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove the old nmi_watchdog · 5f2b0ba4
    Don Zickus authored
    Now that we have a new nmi_watchdog that is more generic and
    sits on top of the perf subsystem, we really do not need the old
    nmi_watchdog any more.
    
    In addition, the old nmi_watchdog doesn't really work if you are
    using the default clocksource, hpet.  The old nmi_watchdog code
    relied on local apic interrupts to determine if the cpu is still
    alive.  With hpet as the clocksource, these interrupts don't
    increment any more and the old nmi_watchdog triggers false
    postives.
    
    This piece removes the old nmi_watchdog code and stubs out any
    variables and functions calls.  The stubs are the same ones used
    by the new nmi_watchdog code, so it should be well tested.
