Release kernels have no KDB backends enabled, so they discard an NMI if it is not due to a hardware failure. This includes NMIs from IPMI BMCs and hypervisors. Furthermore, the interaction of panic_on_nmi, kdb_on_nmi, and debugger_on_panic is confusing. Respond to all NMIs according to panic_on_nmi and debugger_on_panic. Remove kdb_on_nmi. Expand the meaning of panic_on_nmi by making it a bitfield. There are currently two bits: one for NMIs due to hardware failure, and one for all others. Leave room for more. If panic_on_nmi and debugger_on_panic are both true, don't actually panic, but directly enter the debugger, to allow someone to leave the debugger and [hopefully] resume normal execution.
