Since a lot of things have started tying into the NMI handler (oprofile,
nmi watchdog, memory errors, bus error, now the IPMI watchdog), I think
it better to use a request/release mechanism for the NMI handlers.
Plus, I think the current NMI code is actually not correct, it's
theoretically possible to miss NMIs if two occur at the same time. So
I'm proposing the patch at
http://home.attbi.com/~minyard/linux-nmi-v8.diff, relative to current
2.5. This has been posted on lkml, and reviewed by John Levon and others.
Thanks,
