Hi Maciej, the send_IPI_self could be modified to send NMI (at moment it uses self shortcut with fixed delivery mode). The question is rather if we need it without a real caller yet. When Don's patch gets merged we will have a real caller then and could update send_IPI_self to support NMI delivery mode. Something like that :)
