Bug #684751, opcontrol --start fails because of NMI watchdog. The real issue, is the watchdog /proc interface was moved from /proc/blah/nmi_watchdog to /proc/blah/watchdog, a simple search and replace fixed it.
I'm actually testing it on my local without issues.
I couldn't find anything useful in the openSUSE bug (684751), but I did find a debian bug filled with interesting details (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=615964).
You will probably have to add the necessary tags to the patches, I couldn't find any examples in any of the existing patches but I did see the warning.
