Re: [PATCH] disable softlockup detection at boottime

ah, sorry. But ... perhaps using threshold -1 would be the most
intuitive setting? (for 'infinite timeout' ==> softlockup detector
turned off) That way it all becomes configurable as part of the
threshold? No strong opinion though.

Having the ability to switch it off dynamically would be nice to have,
but will need a little work yet. Any solution should also minimize
the amount of time spent in softlockup_tick.

Either '0' or '-1' seems OK to me, but if '-1' turns it off, do we
allow a value of '0'?.

i think <= 0 should be the condition for "off". That means both -1 and 0
would be OK.
