Ok, to not hold up the perf/urgent flow i zapped these two commits for 
the time being:

 4a31beb: perf, x86: Fix handle_irq return values
 8e3e42b: perf, x86: Try to handle unknown nmis with an enabled PMU

We can apply them if they take a form that dont introduce a different 
kind of (and more visible) regression.

Thanks,
