Venkatesh Pallipadi 0080e66755 [PATCH] x86_64: i386/x86-64 Add nmi watchdog support for new Intel CPUs
Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.

What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.

Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.
Patch handles both i386 and x86-64 kernels.
