        x86/reboot: Disable virtualization in an emergency if SVM is supported
    
        Disable SVM on all CPUs via NMI shootdown during an emergency reboot.
        Like VMX, SVM can block INIT, e.g. if the emergency reboot is triggered
        between CLGI and STGI, and thus can prevent bringing up other CPUs via
        INIT-SIPI-SIPI.
