Interrupt code enables MSR[EE] in some irq handlers while keeping local irqs disabled via soft-mask, allowing PMI interrupts to be taken as soft-NMI to improve profiling of irq handlers. When perf is not enabled, there is no point to doing this, it's additional overhead. So provide a function that can say if PMIs should be taken promptly if possible.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
