Ftrace has a way around it, it would be trivial (well maybe ;) to add
the same to jump labels.

Actually, from what I've been told, x86 seems to be the only arch that
does crazy things with NMIs. Most the other archs do NMI when the system
is dead. That is, there's no return to normal system processing once an
NMI is hit.
Another thing is, most systems are OK in modifying code on SMP, and
stop_machine isn't even needed for that. I have code to test this out on
PowerPc, and it seems to work well.
