This patch restores the capability to enter KDB (and KGDB) from the UV NMI
handler. This is needed because the UV system console is not capable of
sending the 'break' signal to the serial console port. It is also useful
when the kernel is hung in such a way that it isn't responding to normal
external I/O, so sending 'g' to sysreq-trigger does not work either.
Another benefit of the external NMI command is that all the cpus receive
the NMI signal at roughly the same time so they are more closely aligned
timewise.
It utilizes the newly added kgdb_nmicallin function to gain entry
to KGDB/KDB by the master. The slaves still enter via the standard
kgdb_nmicallback function. It also uses the new 'send_ready' pointer
to tell KGDB/KDB to signal the slaves when to proceed into the KGDB
slave loop.
It is enabled when the nmi action is set to "kdb" and the kernel is
built with CONFIG_KDB enabled.
