Hi,
Thanks a lot for working on this!

What's the right way to extend your work in order to get a NMI-like watchdog hard lockup detector similar to the one on x86?
I'm testing your patches on Exynos4412 and I guess in their current state they don't go quite this deep, as the only callers of trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() are sysrq, hung_task and spinlock debug code - none of which seem as fail-safe as a trigger like a pre-programmed watchdog NMI interrupt would be.
Do I need to find a way to get CONFIG_FIQ available on this platform first? and/or CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR?
Thanks Daniel
