Differentiate between IRQ and NMI for KVM's PMC overflow callback, which
was originally invoked in response to an NMI that arrived while the guest
was running, but was inadvertantly changed to fire on IRQs as well when
support for perf without PMU/NMI was added to KVM. In practice, this
should be a nop as the PMC overflow callback shouldn't be reached, but
it's a cheap and easy fix that also better documents the situation.
Note, this also doesn't completely prevent false positives if perf
somehow ends up calling into KVM, e.g. an NMI can arrive in host after
KVM sets its flag.

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.
