x86/apic: Introduce apic_extnmi command line parameter
This patch introduces a command line parameter apic_extnmi:
apic_extnmi=( bsp|all|none )
The default value is "bsp" and this is the current behavior: only the
Boot-Strapping Processor receives an external NMI.
"all" allows external NMIs to be broadcast to all CPUs. This would
raise the success rate of panic on NMI when BSP hangs in NMI context
or the external NMI is swallowed by other NMI handlers on the BSP.
If you specify "none", no CPUs receive external NMIs. This is useful for
the dump capture kernel so that it cannot be shot down by accidentally
pressing the external NMI button (on platforms which have it) while
saving a crash dump.
