<title>x86, NMI: Add NMI IPI selftest</title>

The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI
instead of IRQ as the way to communicate to the other cpus to
shutdown.  There were some concerns that various machines may
have problems with using an NMI IPI.

This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at
boot. The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine
panics and we learn the hard way.

Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file
runs a couple of simple tests and reports the results.  The
output looks like:

...
Brought up 4 CPUs
----------------
| NMI testsuite:
--------------------
  remote IPI:  ok  |
   local IPI:  ok  |
--------------------
Good, all   2 testcases passed! |
---------------------------------
Total of 4 processors activated (21330.61 BogoMIPS).

<title>x86-32: Make sure the stack is set up before we use it</title>

Since checkin ebba638ae723d8a8fc2f7abce5ec18b688b791d7 we call
verify_cpu even in 32-bit mode.  Unfortunately, calling a function
means using the stack, and the stack pointer was not initialized in
the 32-bit setup code!  This code initializes the stack pointer, and
simplifies the interface slightly since it is easier to rely on just a
pointer value rather than a descriptor; we need to have different
values for the segment register anyway.

This retains start_stack as a virtual address, even though a physical
address would be more convenient for 32 bits; the 64-bit code wants
the other way around...

Unlike x86_64, on x86_32, the mapping from cpu to logical apicid
may vary depending on apic in use.  cpu_2_logical_apicid[] array
is used for this mapping.  Replace it with early percpu variable
x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid to make it better aligned with other

cpu_info is already with per_cpu, We can take llc_shared_map out
of cpu_info, and declare it as per_cpu variable directly.

So later referencing could be simple and directly instead of
diving to find cpu_info at first.

Also could make smp_store_cpu_info() much simple to avoid to do
save and restore trick.
