which is pointless because NMI entry code has to invoke [__]nmi_enter()
before invoking this function. [__]nmi_enter() does:

__preempt_count_add(NMI_OFFSET + HARDIRQ_OFFSET);

So it's more than bloody obvious why there is no warning triggered for a
regular hardware induced NMI invocation.

For a software invocation from the wrong context it does not matter how
many redundant WARN_ONs you add. The existing ones are covering it
nicely already.

Thanks,

tglx
