Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Enable support IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP to be pseudo-NMI

This patchset enables IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP IPI to be pseudo-NMI.
This allows kdump to collect system information even when the CPU is in
a HARDLOCKUP state.

Only IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP uses NMI and the other IPIs remain normal IRQs.

The patch has been tested on FX1000.

It also uses some of Sumit's IPI patch set for NMI.[1]
