1399 0 - turn nmi_watchdog off
1400 1 - use the IO-APIC timer for the NMI watchdog
1401 2 - use the local APIC for the NMI watchdog using
1402 a performance counter. Note: This will use one performance
1403 counter and the local APIC's performance vector.
1404 When panic is specified panic when an NMI watchdog timeout occurs.
1405 This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and need the box
1406 quickly up again.
1407 Instead of 1 and 2 it is possible to use the following
1408 symbolic names: lapic and ioapic
1409 Example: nmi_watchdog=2 or nmi_watchdog=panic,lapic
