Yeah, I agree the patch set is pretty large and clearly the NMI or
the stop_machine() are completely out. That said, as I wrote in my
other mail I think the problem is still worth solving.

The NMI solution did turn out to be pretty ugly.

I was using it to solve two problems: avoid a deadlock where an NMI handler
could use a lock while the stop_machine() thread is trying to rewrite the
corresponding call-sites. And, needed to ensure that we don't lock
and unlock using mismatched primitives.


Thanks
