Hi, Ingo, As tip/master is a moving target, I am splitting the previous kdump/reboot virtualization-disable code series[1] into smaller series so the simpler parts can be included sooner. This first series is just for making nmi_shootdown_cpus() usable by non-kdump code, by moving their generic parts to reboot.c. They are exactly the same patches I've sent as 01-08 in the previous series. The NMI IPIs method used by nmi_shootdown_cpus() is the only way we can make sure VMX is disabled on all CPUs before rebooting, on emergency_restart(), because CPUs may have IRQs disabled. That's why I will reuse nmi_shootdown_cpus() for the emergency_restart code when VMX is enabled. The virtualization-specific parts should come soon, after I implement the suggestions by Eric and Avi, by making the virtualization-disabling functions inline so they can be used directly by the core code (instead of using the function pointer tricks from my previous series).
