Assign an unused IPI which can be turned as NMI using ipi_nmi framework.
Also, invoke corresponding dynamic IPI setup/teardown APIs.

From thinking about this patch more, I'm guessing that the biggest
objection someone could have is that this uses up the "last" IPI slot
in any systems that are stuck with only 8. Is that the reason that
this patch series stagnated in the past, or was it something else?

If this is truly the concern that people have, it doesn't look like it
would be terribly hard to combine the existing IPI_CPU_STOP and
IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP. Presumably we could just get rid of the "crash
stop" IPI and have the normal "stop" IPI do the crash if
"waiting_for_crash_ipi" is non-zero. If that's the thing blocking the
series from moving forward then I can add that to the series, or we
could just wait until someone actually needs another IPI. ;-)
