your nmi handler (remember I still have the question pending if we
actually need kgdb_nmicallin() in the first place. You already did the
work of adding another NMI type to the enum. We just need to use the
ks->err_code variable as well.

Good idea, I hadn't thought of using that field.  In fact, it
simplified the patch enough that I just folded into the other.

I'll address your other question separately.

Thanks!
