[PATCH] x86/boot: Add a message about ignored early NMIs
Posted by NOMURA JUNICHI(野村 淳一) 1 year, 11 months ago
Commit 78a509fba9c9 ("x86/boot: Ignore NMIs during very early boot") added
empty handler in early boot stage to avoid boot failure by spurious NMIs.

Add a diagnostic message in case we need to know whether early NMIs have
occurred and/or what happened to them.
