It's not possible to enable the unknown_nmi_panic sysctl option
until init is run. It's useful to be able to panic the kernel
during boot too, this adds a parameter to enable this option.

Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time. Remove the
X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum. Remove
apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends. The use of
ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
used it for readability's sake.
I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
and here it is. Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
"feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
have disregarded it.
I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
have left changes to them out. The option will get removed from them at
the next run.
Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
everywhere.

In the course of the recent unification of the NMI watchdog an assignment
to timer_ack to switch off unnecesary POLL commands to the 8259A in the
case of a watchdog failure has been accidentally removed. The statement
used to be limited to the 32-bit variation as since the rewrite of the
timer code it has been relevant for the 82489DX only. This change brings
it back.

There is no need to keep NMI_DISABLED definition and use it
for nmi_watchdog by default. Here is the point why:
- IO-APIC and APIC chips are programmed for nmi_watchdog support at very
early stage of kernel booting and not having nmi_watchdog specified as
boot option lead only to nmi_watchdog becomes to NMI_NONE anyway
- enable nmi_watchdog thru /proc/sys/kernel/nmi if it was not specified at
boot is not possible too (even having this sysfs entry)

Since nmi_watchdog is unsigned variable we may
safely remove the check for negative value.

The checking 'if nmi_watchdog > 0' (ie NMI_NONE) is quite fast but it
has a side effect - it's taken even if nmi_watchdog = NMI_DISABLED.
Nowadays nmi_watchdog is set up to NMI_NONE by default so this condition
is properly taken most the time but we better show this explicitly.

64bit mode bootstrap code does set nmi_watchdog to NMI_NONE
by default and doing the same on 32bit mode is safe too.
Such an action saves us from several #ifdef.

x86: nmi - fix incorrect NMI watchdog used by default
did not fix the problem completely, moreover it
introduced additional bug - nmi_watchdog would be
set to either NMI_LOCAL_APIC or NMI_IO_APIC
_regardless_ to boot option if being enabled thru
/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog. Sorry for that.
Fix it too.

set nmi_watchdog to NMI_IO_APIC as by default. This causes hangs on some
machines with buggy watchdogs. Fix it - i.e. restore old behaviour.
Thanks to Sitsofe Wheeler and Adrian Bunk for catching the problem
and Maciej W. Rozycki for explanation what is going on there.
