x86/mrst: Avoid reporting wrong nmi status Moorestown/Medfield platform does not have port 0x61 to report NMI status, nor does it have external NMI sources. The only NMI sources are from lapic, as results of perf counter overflow or IPI, e.g. NMI watchdog or spin lock debug. Reading port 0x61 on Moorestown will return 0xff which misled NMI handlers to false critical errors such memory parity error. The subsequent ioport access for NMI handling can also cause undefined behavior on Moorestown. This patch allows kernel process NMI due to watchdog or backrace dump without unnecessary hangs.
