IPMI: new NMI handling

Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog timeouts via an
NMI.  This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs
and if it has an NMI post processing call.  Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog
to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in.

It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works.

 start a 120 timer if it is running to make sure the reboot occurs.

-must use mode 2.
+Note that if you use the NMI preaction for the watchdog, you MUST NOT

 Once you open the watchdog timer, you must write a 'V' character to the
 device to close it, or the timer will not stop.  This is a new semantic
