"unknown_nmi_panic" and "panic_on_unrecovered_nmi" are different. See
below and also Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt.

You are dropping this code that is different to panic().

We should register a handler here for this case instead of using
global variables.

There is different behavior, we should rather keep this code and add a
handler in the unknown_nmi_panic case with:

		die_nmi(...)
		...
