No.  If another NMI is generated while we are processing the current one
it should get latched.  Upon completion of the current one, the cpu should
jump right back into the nmi exception routine again.  The only downside
is when multiple NMIs come in during the processing of the current one.
Only one can be latched, so the others get dropped.

Ah, yes, I remember now.

But we are addressing
that.


May I ask how?  Detecting a back-to-back NMI?
