Yes, that probably is a good candidate for emergency mode.
However, your report is also identifying a real issue:
nbcon_cpu_emergency_flush() was implemented to be callable from
non-emergency contexts (in which case it should do nothing). However, in
order to check if it is an emergency context, migration needs to be
disabled.
Perhaps the below change can be made for v2 of this series?
