x86, NMI: Add priorities to handlers

Browse Source 
In order to consolidate the NMI die_chain events, we need to setup the priorities
for the die notifiers.

I started by defining a bunch of common priorities that can be used by the
notifier blocks.  Then I modified the notifier blocks to use the newly created
priorities.

Now that the priorities are straightened out, it should be easier to remove the
event DIE_NMI_IPI.

* Also setup some default high/normal/low settings for
