Nicely done, Petr -- I really appreciate this fix.  Queued for crash-7.0.7:

  https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/8e15958e1b7183bbfbdf004f0ad8f2b62f023f9f

Thanks,

----- Original Message -----
> Kernel commit 3f3c8b8c4b2a34776c3470142a7c8baafcda6eb0 changed the NMI stack
> layout, adding 12 more values on the stack. The fix has two parts:
> 
>   1. Determine if this kernel has the nested NMI layout and set a
>      machine-specific flag (NESTED_NMI) if it does.
> 
>   2. When backtracing an NMI stack, use the saved values instead of those
>      found at the top of stack.
