(totally untested) Just if you do this while running on the NMI stack (and I think you do if you insert it at the same place as Neil's original patch) and another NMI happens for some reason you will be dead because your stack will corrupt. If you really want nested NMIs you would need to fix up the NMI stacks first by pointing them below your own stack. -Andi
