Sorry, I had a typo in my suggestion. The subject prefix should be:
"nmi_backtrace" instead of "lib_backtrace".

Also, when posting a followup patch, please remove the "Re: " from the
subject so that it's clear that it's a new patch, and not a comment for
the old one.

Otherwise it looks great to me. Thanks!
