Subject: [patch 4/4] ipmi: add new IPMI nmi watchdog handling


Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog
timeouts via an NMI.  This add config options to know if there
is the ability to receive NMIs and if it has an NMI post processing
call.  Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog to take advantage of
this so that it can know if an NMI comes in.

It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works.
