1401 Valid num: 0,1,2
1402 0 - turn nmi_watchdog off
1403 1 - use the IO-APIC timer for the NMI watchdog
1404 2 - use the local APIC for the NMI watchdog using
1405 a performance counter. Note: This will use one performance
1406 counter and the local APIC's performance vector.
1407 When panic is specified panic when an NMI watchdog timeout occurs.
1408 This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and need the box
1409 quickly up again.
1410 Instead of 1 and 2 it is possible to use the following
1411 symbolic names: lapic and ioapic
