I did this for consistency with the in_nmi() check in
generic_handle_domain_nmi(); I was unaware of commit c16816acd086 and
IRQD_HANDLE_ENFORCE_IRQCTX.

Do you mean you beleive that from inspection, or are you actually seeing this
go wrong in practice?

If it's the latter, are you able to give a copy of the dmesg splat?

Thanks,
