x86: fix NMI watchdog & 'stopped time' problem
More than 3 years ago Niclas Gustafsson reported a 'stopped time'
problem:
> Watching the /proc/interrupts with 10s apart after the "stop".
>
> [root@s151 root]# more /proc/interrupts
> CPU0
> 0: 66413955 local-APIC-edge timer
[...]
> LOC: 67355837
> ERR: 0
> MIS: 0
> [root@s151 root]# more /proc/interrupts

> 0: 66413955 local-APIC-edge timer

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:
