For no reason other than beginning brainmelt, IDTENTRY_NMI was mapped to
IDTENTRY_IST.
This is not a problem on 64bit because the IST default entry point maps to
IDTENTRY_RAW which does not any entry handling. The surplus function
declaration for the noist C entry point is unused and as there is no ASM
code emitted for NMI this went unnoticed.
On 32bit IDTENTRY_IST maps to a regular IDTENTRY which does the normal
entry handling. That is clearly the wrong thing to do for NMI.
Map it to IDTENTRY_RAW to unbreak it. The IDTENTRY_NMI mapping needs to
stay to avoid emitting ASM code.

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.
