    x86: Convert some devices to use DIE_NMIUNKNOWN · 673a6092
    Don Zickus 提交于
    They are a handful of places in the code that register a die_notifier
    as a catch all in case no claims the NMI.  Unfortunately, they trigger
    on events like DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, which depending on when they
    registered may collide with other handlers that have the ability to
    determine if the NMI is theirs or not.
    
    The function unknown_nmi_error() makes one last effort to walk the
    die_chain when no one else has claimed the NMI before spitting out
    messages that the NMI is unknown.
    
    This is a better spot for these devices to execute any code without
    colliding with the other handlers.
    
    The two drivers modified are only compiled on x86 arches I believe, so
    they shouldn't be affected by other arches that may not have
    DIE_NMIUNKNOWN defined.
