Since NMI handling is in some fairly hot paths we provide a Kconfig
option which allows support to be compiled out when not needed.

+	  Non-maskable interrupts are an architecture and GIC feature
+	  which allow the system to configure some interrupts to be
+	  configured to have superpriority, allowing them to be handled
+	  before other interrupts and masked for shorter periods of time.
+
+	  The feature is detected at runtime, and will remain disabled
+	  if the cpu does not implement the feature. It will also be
+	  disabled if pseudo NMIs are enabled at runtime.
