0 - turn nmi_watchdog off
- 1 - use the IO-APIC timer for the NMI watchdog
- 2 - use the local APIC for the NMI watchdog using
- a performance counter. Note: This will use one
- performance counter and the local APIC's performance
- vector.
When panic is specified, panic when an NMI watchdog
timeout occurs.
This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
need the box quickly up again.
- Instead of 1 and 2 it is possible to use the following
