Can I please have some context what problem does this solve?
I can see that vkdb_printf() calls into console drivers:

	for_each_console(c) {
		c->write(c, cp, retlen - (cp - kdb_buffer));
		touch_nmi_watchdog();
	}

Is this guaranteed that we never execute this path from NMI?
If so, can this please be added to the commit message? A more
detailed commit message will help a lot.
