What is this NMI_IPI thing, and why do we bother?
If the hardware reason thin can discriminate between IPI and other NMIs
we should never call both chains, if it cannot, why do we have 2 chains?
In any case, I don't think perf/oprofile/etc,. should use NMI_IPI, that
doesn't really make sense.
Or am I totally confused about things here?
