also you have some other left-over...

Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt:    unknown_nmi_panic
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt:                    Set unknown_nmi_panic=1 early on boot.
Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt:- unknown_nmi_panic
Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt:unknown_nmi_panic:
arch/x86/include/asm/nmi.h:extern int unknown_nmi_panic;
arch/x86/kernel/apic/hw_nmi.c:int unknown_nmi_panic;
kernel/sysctl_binary.c: { CTL_INT,      KERN_UNKNOWN_NMI_PANIC,         "unknown_nmi_panic" },

may still have left for nmi_watchdog too.
