Use a per-cpu 'wd_enabled' boolean and a global atomic_t count
of watchdog NMI enabled cpus which is set to '-1' if something
is wrong with the watchdog and it can't be used.

It all lives in the oprofile support code currently and we will need
to share this stuff with NMI watchdog and perf_counter support.

We use clock cycle counter, adjusted to HZ.

This can be extended to sun4v based processors as well, as they
also have a proper overflow interrupt facility for the performance
counters.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
