From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Notify () handlers, like GPE handlers, are only allowed to run on CPU0
now out of the concern that they might trigger an SMM trap and that (in
some cases) the SMM code running as a result of that might corrupt
memory if not run on CPU0.

However, Notify () handlers are registered by kernel code and they
are not likely to evaluate AML that would trigger an SMM trap.  In
fact, many of them don't even evaluate any AML at all and even if
they do, that AML may as well be evaluated in other code paths.  In
other words, they are not special from the AML evaluation perspective,
so there is no real reason to treat them in any special way.

Accordingly, allow Notify () handlers, unlike GPE handlers, to be
executed by all CPUs in the system.

Also adjust the allocation of the "notify" workqueue to allow multiple
handlers to be executed at the same time, because they need not be
serialized.
