I don't think we want a 30+ lines diffstat to this rather
non-trivial NMI codepath - and it changes real instructions, not
just the CFI annotations.

Also, the 'update comments' commit does not belong into
x86/urgent either.

So either you do an obviously trivial patch that only adds CFI
annotations and nothing else, or I can pull these bits into
tip:x86/debug, for a v3.4 merge.

Thanks,

Ingo
