+ Format: [panic,][num]
+ Valid num: 0,1,2
+ 0 - turn nmi_watchdog off
+ 1 - use the IO-APIC timer for the NMI watchdog
+ 2 - use the local APIC for the NMI watchdog using
+ a performance counter. Note: This will use one performance
+ counter and the local APIC's performance vector.
+ When panic is specified panic when an NMI watchdog timeout occurs.
+ This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and need the box
+ quickly up again.
+ Instead of 1 and 2 it is possible to use the following
+ symbolic names: lapic and ioapic
+ Example: nmi_watchdog=2 or nmi_watchdog=panic,lapic
