Ah, if there is other places that need to call a printk from an NMI
context, do we have to copy and paste this code there too? That would
seem a little much. :-) I guess my only concern really is the seq_init
and seq print stuff. The handler seems relatively simple.
Can we isolate this to a pr_nmi() routine or something? Or maybe a
pr_nmi_queue and pr_nmi_dump or something?
Cheers,
Don
