[V3 PATCH 4/4] x86/apic: Introduce noextnmi boot option

2015-08-05 Thread Hidehiro Kawai
This patch introduces new boot option "noextnmi" which disables external NMI. This option is useful for the dump capture kernel so that an HA application or administrator wouldn't mistakenly shoot down the kernel by NMI. Currently, only x86 supports this option. Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai
