I would really like this in for the next distributor pull of the kernel so it gets more exposure there. I have used the stuff Keith posted on 8/17 and did not see anything handled incorrectly. I will retest with the latest today. The machine even handled simulataneous failures the three times I three them at it. I only tried one nmi and did not attempt to resume from it, but at least the register information made sense. Compared to what I have seen in the past from NMIs, this was a vast improvement. What testing would you like to see? I do not understand the issues enough to comment on the patches, but could possibly coax a couple other people who are into spending a half-day on it.
