[IA64] Extend notify_die() hooks for IA64
notify_die() added for MCA_{MONARCH,SLAVE,RENDEZVOUS}_{ENTER,PROCESS,LEAVE} and INIT_{MONARCH,SLAVE}_{ENTER,PROCESS,LEAVE}. We need multiple notification points for these events because they can take many seconds to run which has nasty effects on the behaviour of the rest of the system. DIE_SS replaced by a generic DIE_FAULT which checks the vector number, to allow interception of faults other than SS. DIE_MACHINE_{HALT,RESTART} added to allow last minute close down processing, especially when the halt/restart routines are called from error handlers. DIE_OOPS added. The check for kprobe's break numbers has been moved from traps.c to kprobes.c, allowing DIE_BREAK to be used for any additional break numbers, i.e. it is no longer kprobes specific. Hooks for kernel debuggers and kernel dumpers added, ENTER and LEAVE. Both of these disable the system for long periods which impact on watchdogs and heartbeat systems in general. More patches to come that use these events to reset watchdogs and heartbeats. unregister_die_notifier() added and both routines exported. Requested by Dean Nelson. Lock removed from {un,}register_die_notifier. notifier_chain_register() already takes a lock. Also the generic notifier chain locking is being reworked to distinguish between callbacks that can block and those that cannot, the lock in {un,}register_die_notifier would interfere with that change. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 Leading white space removed from arch/ia64/kernel/kprobes.c. Typo in mca.c in original version of this patch found & fixed by Dean Nelson.
