powerpc: Machine check interrupt is a non-maskable interrupt

npiggin · mpe · commit b96672dd840f · 2017-08-31T14:26:04.000+10:00
Use nmi_enter similarly to system reset interrupts. This uses NMI
printk NMI buffers and turns off various debugging facilities that
helps avoid tripping on ourselves or other CPUs.
