[PATCH 4/4] [RFC][powerpc] nmi_watchdog: support for powerpc

[Don Zickus]

In order to make sure other arches compiled properly, I used powerpc as a
test bed.  It was just basic sanity checking code to see if the
infrastructure bits worked ok.  The lock up detection logic is non-existant
and the sample_period is some large made up number.

The interesting piece of the patch is the change to ppc970-pmc.c.  I had to
move the initcall from arch_init to early_init to allow the nmi_watchdog to
register with the perf_event subsystem as cpus were coming online.
Otherwise it failed with ENXIO.

This patch is just a conversation starter.  I am not sure if powerpc has a
true NMI and if this is really needed.  But since I spent some time making
it work, I thought I would throw it out there.
