This patch adds an atomic notifier list named crash_notifier_list.
When loading kvm-intel module, a notifier will be registered in
the list to enable vmcss loaded on all cpus to be VMCLEAR'd if
needed.

The notifier list is not VMX specific. It may be used for other
purposes, so please use better name or just open code it.

ACKs from kexec side are needed.

It is even worse. You are adding general infrastructure here, not
related to KVM at all. Choose neutral names, drop all comments about
VMCLEAR.
