In discussions with Thomas Mingarelli about hpwdt, he explained to me some issues they were some when using their virtual NMI button to test the hpwdt driver. It turns out the virtual NMI button used on HP's machines do no send unknown NMIs but instead send IO_CHK NMIs. The way the kernel code is written, the hpwdt driver can not register itself against that type of NMI and therefore can not successfully capture system information before panic'ing. To solve this I created two new NMI queues to allow driver to register against the IO_CHK and SERR NMIs. Or in the hpwdt all three (if you include unknown NMIs too). The change is straightforward and just mimics what the unknown NMI does.
