Andi Kleen ccc3c3192a x86, mce: implement bootstrapping for machine check wakeups
Machine checks support waking up the mcelog daemon quickly.

The original wake up code for this was pretty ugly, relying on
a idle notifier and a special process flag. The reason it did
it this way is that the machine check handler is not subject
to normal interrupt locking rules so it's not safe
to call wake_up().  Instead it set a process flag
and then either did the wakeup in the syscall return
or in the idle notifier.

This patch adds a new "bootstraping" method as replacement.

The idea is that the handler checks if it's in a state where
it is unsafe to call wake_up(). If it's safe it calls it directly.
When it's not safe -- that is it interrupted in a critical
section with interrupts disables -- it uses a new "self IPI" to trigger
an IPI to its own CPU. This can be done safely because IPI
triggers are atomic with some care. The IPI is raised
once the interrupts are reenabled and can then safely call
wake_up().

When APICs are disabled the event is just queued and will be picked up
eventually by the next polling timer. I think that's a reasonable
compromise, since it should only happen quite rarely.

Contains fixes from Ying Huang.
