Hi Rafael!

Well, Thomas already explained

| The softlockup issue itself is fixed, but there are issues with
| nmi_watchdog. I think we should remove the regression and keep the bug
| alive to chase the other issues.
|
| Thanks,
|
| tglx

so we either have to change the topic of this bug or better
close it and post new one nmi_watchdog related. I may do so
but since Joshua was opening bug it would be better if he
make such an action. How do you think? (I've asked Joshua
for additional info but it seems he is too busy now)
