Our automated test suite looks for keywords like error, fail, warning in
the boot log. In the case when the nmi watchdog is determined to be
stuck in check_nmi_watchdog(), none of those keywords are displayed.
This patch adds a keyword, "WARNING:", so it makes it easier to notice
when the nmi watchdog isn't working correctly. Also add a proper
KERN_WARNING mark to this printout.

More than 3 years ago Niclas Gustafsson reported a 'stopped time'
problem:

This may be because buggy SMM firmware messes with the 8259A (configured
for a transparent mode -- yes that rare "local-APIC-edge" mode is tricky
;-) ) insanely.
this should resolve:

Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames
are no longer correct. Rather than keep them up to date, just delete
them, as they add no real value.
Additionally:
- fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c
- Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM
- remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from
git.

The clock events merge introduced a change to the nmi watchdog code to
handle the not longer increasing local apic timer count in the
broadcast mode. This is fine for UP, but on SMP it pampers over a
stuck CPU which is not handling the broadcast interrupt due to the
unconditional sum up of local apic timer count and irq0 count.
To cover all cases we need to keep track on which CPU irq0 is
handled. In theory this is CPU#0 due to the explicit disabling of irq
balancing for irq0, but there are systems which ignore this on the
hardware level. The per cpu irq0 accounting allows us to remove the
irq0 to CPU0 binding as well.
Add a per cpu counter for irq0 and evaluate this instead of the global
irq0 count in the nmi watchdog code.
