Subject: [PATCH 10/16] x86: disable virtualization on all CPUs if needed, on emergency_restart

On emergency_restart, we may need to use NMIs to disable virtualization
on all CPUs. We do that by using nmi_shootdown_cpus(), but only if a
virt_disable function was set by KVM.

Finding a proper point to hook the nmi_shootdown_cpus() call wasn't
really easy, as the non-emergency machine_restart() (that doesn't
need the NMI tricks) uses machine_emergency_restart() directly.

The solution to make this work without adding a new function or argument
to machine_ops was setting a 'reboot_emergency' flag that tells if
native_machine_emergency_restart() needs to do the virt cleanup or not.
