The commit
commit 4b82b277707a39b97271439c475f186f63ec4692 Author: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Date: Sat May 24 19:36:35 2008 +0400
set nmi_watchdog to NMI_IO_APIC as by default. This causes hangs on some machines with buggy watchdogs. Fix it - i.e. restore old behaviour.
Thanks to Sitsofe Wheeler and Adrian Bunk for catching the problem and Maciej W. Rozycki for explanation what is going on there.
