The 3rd parameter pertains to handler "flags". The only flag in use
right now is NMI_FLAG_FIRST. Assuming that more flags might get added
later, the 0 should probably correspond to NMI_FLAG_NONE. Agree?

The other option would be NMI_FLAG_LAST, which would be the opposite of
NMI_FLAG_FIRST, but that seems shortsighted.
I don't feel as strongly about the flags. But this code has been there
for over a decade as-is, so I don't think we need to be planning to add
a bunch more flags.
Sure, I'll leave the flags as-is for now to keep the focus of this
series on NMI-source.
