This series fixes several similar but unrelated bugs with NMIs
clobbering live registers and getting away with 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.
Manually fixing that up in the sim environment can trigger that
case.
Thanks,
Nick
