    Unfortunately yes. __tasklet_schedule() uses interrupt disabling
    as a synchronization mechanism. This presents a problem since by
    definition, NMIs can occur even when interrupts are disabled.
    However the NMI handling code in bluesmoke has a mechanism similar to
    tasklets that is intended specifically for use by NMI handlers.
