Subject: [PATCH 0/6] x86, NMI: die_notifier and default_do_nmi cleanups

This is another version of the NMI rewrite patches I sent previously.  I
take it those patches were too thick to be reviewed easily, so I broke out
the patches differently to make it easier to review.  Hopefully it doesn't
look as scary.

The bulk of the patch adds priorities to the die_chain notifiers for NMI
events and removes the DIE_NMI_IPI event.  There are some other cleanups
too, which include removing the restriction of the BSP cpu to process 
external NMIs.

Cheers,
Don
