Currently NMIs are sent over event channels, but that defeats the
purpose of NMIs since event channels can be masked. Fix this by
issuing NMIs using a hypercall, which injects a NMI (vector #2) to the
desired vCPU.
Note that NMIs could also be triggered using the emulated local APIC,
but using a hypercall is better from a performance point of view
since it doesn't involve instruction decoding when not using x2APIC
mode.
