SubjectRe: Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 2c on CPU 0.

No, but something else happens. Here's the whole dance:

1. Switch all tunables except "NMI watchdog should be turned off" to "Good"
2. suspend to disk
3. resume... all good
4. switch "NMI watchdog should be turned off" to "Good"
5. suspend to disk
6. resume... all good
7. start powertop, toggle "Wireless Power Saving for interface wlan0" twice.
I.e., "Good" -> "Bad"; "Bad" -> "Good".

-> Boom! Unknown reason NMI. It happened right during the toggle because
it appeared in the framebuffer console (no X) right during me toggling
this.

So, it is something getting fishy *after* the watchdog gets disabled.
Something remains funny and dangling, causing it to fire an NMI because
it is an NMI watchdog (doh!)... Could it be that the watchdog_disable
fact doesn't get communicated to the image kernel somehow, or maybe
delayed?

How do you pass options the image kernel?
