KDB entry on NMI

It was mentioned somewhere recently, that typical BIOS today configures
NMI delivery on the hardware events as broadcast.  When I developerd
the dmar(4) busdma backend, I indeed met the problem, and wrote a
prototype which avoided startup of ddb on all cores.  Instead, the patch
implements custom spinlock, which allows only one core to win, other
cores ignore the NMI, by spinning on lock.

The issue which I see on at least two different machines with different
Intel chipsets, is that NMI is somehow sticky, i.e. it is re-delivered
after the handler executes iret.  I am not sure what the problem is,
whether it is due to hardware needing some ACK, or a bug in code.

Anyway, even on two-cores machine, having both cores simultaneously
enter NMI makes the use of ddb impossible, so I believe the patch is
improvement.  I make measures to ensure that reboot from ddb prompt
works.

Thought ?
