My bad, will run it before next submission.

Yes, it's worth returning register_nmi_handler() retval. Nice catch.

Well, we need to keep these strings somewhere :) IMO, this is simpler 
solution. What would be advantage of additional map function?

I am validating generic->notify.type at the begin of function and return 
error in case of unknown value. I think there is no need to check that 
again.
