[PATCH -v2 6/7] x86, NMI, Add support to notify hardware error with unknown NMI

On some platforms, fatal hardware error may be notified via unknown
NMI.

For example, on some platform with APEI firmware first mode support,
firmware generates NMI for fatal error but without error record. The
unknown NMI should be treated as notification of fatal hardware
error. The unknown_nmi_for_hwerr is added for these platform, if it is
not zero, system will treat unknown NMI as notification of fatal
hardware error.

These platforms are identified via the presentation of APEI HEST or
some PCI ID of the host bridge. The PCI ID of host bridge instead of
DMI ID is used, so that the checking can be done based on the platform
type instead of motherboard. This should be simpler and sufficient.

The method to identify the platforms is designed by Andi Kleen.
