Hi Don,

I realize that you didn't introduce Arch in this help text,
but can we eliminate him, please?  E.g.:

	  Platform can generate an NMI using the perf event subsystem.
or
	  System hardware can generate an NMI using the perf event subsystem.

	                                   CPU

                                                     period.
