Ugh. But this does *not* happen with 3.16, right? Even the non-fatal case?

If so, I'd be inclined to call it "bad". But there might well be two
bugs: one that makes that NMI watchdog trigger, and another one that
then makes it be a hard lockup. I'd think it would be good to figure
out the "NMI watchdog starts triggering" one first, though.
