sparc: Implement watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable
Implement functions watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable
to enable/disable nmi watchdogs. Sparc uses arch specific nmi watchdog
handler. Currently, we do not have a way to enable/disable nmi watchdog
dynamically. With these patches we can enable or disable arch
specific nmi watchdogs using proc or sysctl interface.
Example commands.
To enable: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
To disable: echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
It can also achieved using the sysctl parameter kernel.nmi_watchdog
