I think that we shouldn't add a framework in a separate file for this:
* This is very similar to our existing IPI management in smp.c, so it feels
like duplication, or at least another thing we'd like to keep in-sync.
* We're going to want an NMI backtrace regardless of KGDB
* We're going to want the IPI_CPU_STOP and IPI_CRASH_CPU_STOP IPIs to be NMIs
too.
I reckon it'd be better to extend the existing IPI logic in smp.c to allow IPIs
to be requested as NMIs, e.g.

... and then if we need an IPI for KGDB, we can add that to the existing list
of IPIs, and have it requested/enabled/disabled as usual.
Thanks,
Mark.
