[PATCH 1/3] Revert "x86, reboot: Use NMI instead of REBOOT_VECTOR to stop cpus"

From: Don Zickus
Date: Fri May 11 2012 - 14:42:06 EST


This reverts commit 3603a2512f9e69dc87914ba922eb4a0812b21cd6.

Originally I wanted a better hammer to shutdown cpus during panic.
However, this really steps on the toes of various spinlocks in the
panic path. Sometimes it is easier to wait for the IRQ to become
re-enabled to indictate the cpu left the critical region and then
shutdown the cpu.

The next patch moves the NMI addition after the IRQ part. To make
it easier to see the logic of everything, revert this patch and
apply the next simpler patch.
