Is in_nmi() sufficiently reliable for use here? In the past, there have
been tracepoints that invoked these functions between the time that the
handlers were entered and the time that software updated the state so that
the various handler-check functions (such as in_nmi()) would return true.

Steve, has there been any change in this situation?

Thanx, Paul
