Subject: [PATCH] [15/34] x86_64: Use safe_apic_wait_icr_idle in __send_IPI_dest_field  - x86_64


From: Fernando Luis [** ISO-8859-1 charset **] VázquezCao <fernando@....ntt.co.jp>
Use safe_apic_wait_icr_idle to check ICR idle bit if the vector is
NMI_VECTOR to avoid potential hangups in the event of crash when kdump
tries to stop the other CPUs.
