Now, multiple CPUs can receive an external NMI simultaneously by
specifying the "apic_extnmi=all" command line parameter. When we take
a crash dump by using external NMI with this option, we fail to save
registers into the crash dump. This happens as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1
================================ =============================
receive an external NMI
default_do_nmi() receive an external NMI
spin_lock(&nmi_reason_lock) default_do_nmi()
io_check_error() spin_lock(&nmi_reason_lock)
panic() busy loop
...
kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
issue NMI IPI -----------> blocked until IRET
busy loop...
Here, since CPU 1 is in NMI context, an additional NMI from CPU 0
remains unhandled until CPU 1 IRETs. However, CPU 1 will never execute
IRET so the NMI is not handled and the callback function to save
registers is never called.
To solve this issue, we check if the IPI for crash dumping was issued
while waiting for nmi_reason_lock to be released, and if so, call its
callback function directly. If the IPI is not issued (e.g. kdump is
disabled), the actual behavior doesn't change.

With the revamped realmode trampoline code, it is trivial to extend
support for reboot=bios to x86-64. Furthermore, while we are at it,
remove the restriction that only we can only override the reboot CPU
on 32 bits.

Just convert all the files that have an nmi handler to the new routines.
Most of it is straight forward conversion. A couple of places needed some
tweaking like kgdb which separates the debug notifier from the nmi handler
and mce removes a call to notify_die.
[Thanks to Ying for finding out the history behind that mce call
https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/27/114
And Boris responding that he would like to remove that call because of it
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/163]
The things that get converted are the registeration/unregistration routines
and the nmi handler itself has its args changed along with code removal
to check which list it is on (most are on one NMI list except for kgdb
which has both an NMI routine and an NMI Unknown routine).

Move the real-mode reboot code out to an assembly file (reboot_32.S)
which is allocated using the common lowmem trampoline allocator.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
