    perf_counter, x86: Fix APIC NMI programming · 79202ba9
    Ingo Molnar authored
    My Nehalem box locks up in certain situations (with an
    always-asserted NMI causing a lockup) if the PMU LVT
    entry is programmed between NMI and IRQ mode with a
    high frequency.
    
    Standardize exlusively on NMIs instead.
    
    [ Impact: fix lockup ]
