Ok, so the STI shadow really wouldn't be reliable on those machines. Scary.
Of course, the good news is that hopefully nobody has them any more,
and if they do, they presumably don't use fancy NMI profiling etc, so
any actual NMI's are probably relegated purely to largely rare and
effectively fatal errors anyway (ie memory parity errors).
