Subject: [RFC 2/5] NMI return notifier
Many kernel services can not be used in NMI handler. So NMI handler
needs a mechanism to do these operations in other contexts such as IRQ
and process.
This patch implements such a mechanism based on soft_irq in a similar
way as user return notifier. A new soft_irq named
NMI_RETURN_NOTIFIER_SOFTIRQ is defined and a lock-less single link
list is used to hold functions which will be called in the soft_irq
after NMI handler returned.
