This patchset is based on SSE[1]. It adds support for inter CPU NMI
interfaces, enabling operations such as CPU stopping, backtrace, and
kgdb to be performed via NMI which is a more robust approach compared
to IPI. In addition to inter CPU NMIs, it also adds support for unknown
NMI[2].
v1->v2: Utilized SBI_SSE_EVENT_LOCAL_SOFTWARE_INJECTED for inter
CPU NMI communication.
v2->v3:
1. Since CPU stop is not a high frequency operation, NMI is directly
used instead of IPI, without first attempting IPI and using NMI as
a fallback.
2. The parameter local_nmi_arg used by sse_event_register cannot represent
local NMI types (Crash, Stop, Backtrace, Kgdb) for multiple CPUs, so a new
per CPU variable local_nmi has been added to address this.
