x86: nmi_watchdog - use NMI_NONE by default
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There is no need to keep NMI_DISABLED definition and use it
for nmi_watchdog by default. Here is the point why:

- IO-APIC and APIC chips are programmed for nmi_watchdog support at very
  early stage of kernel booting and not having nmi_watchdog specified as
  boot option lead only to nmi_watchdog becomes to NMI_NONE anyway
- enable nmi_watchdog thru /proc/sys/kernel/nmi if it was not specified at
  boot is not possible too (even having this sysfs entry)
