Thanks.
Looks like we re-enter the fault several times. On x86-32, NMIs can fault if they dereference vmalloc'ed area. I wonder if the module thing we lookup in the NMI is stored on some vmalloc'ed area.
Also, may be we enter the fault, trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE(in_nmi()) warning, which in turn dumps the stack, lookup that module address, refaults, etc...
