[PATCH 9/10] Use safe_apic_wait_icr_idle insafe_apic_wait_icr_idle - i386

From: Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao
Date: Wed Apr 25 2007 - 07:49:34 EST


Use safe_apic_wait_icr_idle to check ICR idle bit if the vector is
NMI_VECTOR to avoid potential hangups in the event of crash when kdump
tries to stop the other CPUs.
