We can trigger more often and delay shorter, but it will mean that
protection will trigger with more false positives. I guess I'll play
with constants too see how big the effect is.

BTW...

[ 6267.180092] INFO: NMI handler (perf_event_nmi_handler) took too
long to run: 63.501 msecs

but I'm doing mdelay(64). .5 msec is not big difference, but...

Best regards,
