Modify prior change to not claim an NMI unless originated
from iLO to apply only to iLO5 and later going forward.
This restores hpwdt traditional behavior of calling panic
if the NMI is NMI_IO_CHECK, NMI_SERR, or NMI_UNKNOWN for
legacy hardware.

Hyper-nitpick:
iLO5 = true;

I have seen 0day warnings because of that, so it is useful to avoid bool/int
mixups.
