Hi Ingo,

here's a pile which addresses issues which arise when using an NMI
button on certain platforms which provide it, to cause an external NMI
and thus cause a concurrent kdump to fail. For that, we're getting a
new cmdline option called "apic_extnmi" which can control which CPUs
(or none) to receive the external NMI. The default behavior is what the
kernel does currently - only the BSP receives it.

I've made sure that each commit message explains in great detail what
the problem is as this whole area is not trivial.

Please apply,
thanks.
