Joseph Koshy bb471e3315 Improve robustness of NMI handling, for NMIs recognized in kernel
mode.

- Make the NMI handler run on its own stack (TSS_IST2).
- Store the GSBASE value for each CPU just before the start of
  each NMI stack, permitting efficient retrieval using %rsp-relative
  addressing.
- For NMIs taken from kernel mode, program MSR_GSBASE explicitly
  since one or both of MSR_GSBASE and MSR_KGSBASE can be potentially
  invalid.  The current contents of MSR_GSBASE are saved and restored
  at exit.
- For NMIs handled from user mode, continue to use 'swapgs' to
  load the per-CPU GSBASE.
