A single fix for the mechanism to park CPUs with an INIT IPI.

Browse Source 
On shutdown or kexec, the kernel tries to park the non-boot CPUs with an
 INIT IPI. But the same code path is also used by the crash utility. If the
 CPU which panics is not the boot CPU then it sends an INIT IPI to the boot
 CPU which resets the machine. Prevent this by validating that the CPU which
 runs the stop mechanism is the boot CPU. If not, leave the other CPUs in
 HLT.
