[PATCH] Revert nmi_known_cpu() check during boot option parsing
Commit f2802e7f571c05f9a901b1f5bd144aa730ccc88e and its x86 version (b7471c6da94d30d3deadc55986cc38d1ff57f9ca) adds nmi_known_cpu() check while parsing boot options in x86_64 and i386. With that, "nmi_watchdog=2" stops working for me on Intel Core 2 CPU based system. The problem is, setup_nmi_watchdog is called while parsing the boot option and identify_cpu is not done yet. So, the return value of nmi_known_cpu() is not valid at this point. So revert that check. This should not have any adverse effect as the nmi_known_cpu() check is done again later in enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog().
