Keith Owens 45486f81c9 [PATCH] x86_64: Standardize i386/x86_64 handling of NMI_VECTOR 
x86_64 and i386 behave inconsistently when sending an IPI on vector 2
(NMI_VECTOR).  Make both behave the same, so IPI 2 is sent as NMI.

The crash code was abusing send_IPI_allbutself() by passing a code
instead of a vector, it only worked because crash knew about the
internal code of send_IPI_allbutself().  Change crash to use NMI_VECTOR
instead, and remove the comment about how crash was abusing the function.

This patch is a pre-requisite for fixing the problem where sending an
IPI as NMI would reboot some Dell Xeon systems.  I cannot fix that
problem while crash continus to abuse send_IPI_allbutself().

It also removes the inconsistency between i386 and x86_64 for
NMI_VECTOR.  That will simplify all the RAS code that needs to bring
all the cpus to a clean stop, even when one or more cpus are spinning
disabled.
