Does #DB make in_nmi() true? If that's the case then we do need to handle that.
Yes: #DF, #MC, #BP (int3), #DB and NMI all have in_nmi() true.
Ignoring #DF because that's mostly game over, you can get them all
nested for up to 4 (you're well aware of the normal NMI recursion
crap).
We probably can implement this with stacked counters.
I would seriously consider dropping support for anything that can't do
cmpxchg at the width you need.
