This is an updated version with input from H. Peter Anvin and Peter Zijlstra.
It may still not be up to par to actually pull. I would like to hear
more comments from people.

Yes, the NMI/INT3/Lockdep is complex. But I believe this is the nature
of the beast. If someone can come up with a simpler solution, I'm all ears.
Right now, the upstream tree has a bug when enabling function tracer
when lockdep is enabled that may crash the system.

Thoughts on this?
