PAPR does not specify that fwnmi sreset should be interlocked, and PowerVM (and therefore now QEMU) do not require it. These "ibm,nmi-interlock" calls are ignored by firmware, but there is a possibility that the sreset could have interrupted a machine check and release the machine check's interlock too early, corrupting it if another machine check came in. This is an extremely rare case, but it should be fixed for clarity and reducing the code executed in the sreset path. Firmware also does not provide error information for the sreset case to look at, so remove that comment.

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.
