This series fixes several similar but unrelated bugs with NMIs
clobbering live registers without noticing it, because MSR[RI] is set.
Pretty rare bugs, but serious silent corruption consequences.
For the most part these can be observed and tested quite easily
with the mambo simulator, except that it does not seem to follow
the architecture wrt leaving MSR[RI] unchanged for HV interrupts.
Mambo clears MSR[RI], so you have to account for that manually.
Since v1:
- Fixed several build bugs.
Since v2:
- Improved changelog and comments.
- Fixed the NIA test for virt mode interrupts.
