Subject: [V2 PATCH 0/6] x86, NMI: give NMI handler a face-lift

Restructuring the nmi handler to be more readable and simpler.

This is just laying the ground work for future improvements in this area.

I also left out one of Huang's patch until we figure out how we are going
to proceed with a new notifier.

Tested 32-bit and 64-bit on AMD and Intel machines.

V2:  add a patch to kill DIE_NMI_IPI and add in priorities

Cheers,
Don
