I must admit I've missed the fact that Jack has tried NMIs priorities, right?
x86_platform_ops seems to be a cleaner indeed (btw I think p4 pmu kgdb issue
is exactly the same problem) but same time this might end up in over-swelled
ideas behind this small code snippet. Dunno. Probably we need some per-cpu
system status for nmi reasons other than unknown nmis...
