that's still huge! The patch below fixes the panic_on_unrecovered_nmi
thing ...

so please do it. The fact that there are /other/ reductions possible
doesnt mean we can be lax. It's like: "oh, the buddy allocator scales
better now, so we can slow down the SLAB allocator". No, kernel size is
like scalability: we need a million small steps.
the panic_on_unrecovered_nmi thing is gross anyway: it has no place in
kernel.h, it should go into include/[asm-i386|x86_64]/nmi.h and not the
generic headers. There the prototype can be made #ifdef APIC, hence
eliminating the #ifdefs from traps.c. (that's all we care about anyway)
please dont throw away a perfectly fine config option.
