Fine by me.

I'd be very happy to talk about alternative approaches. In the past I've
had long conversations about trapping to ARM TF as a means to simulate
NMI. I haven't written any code to move in this direction but I still
think of it as being the future-areas-of-interest pile.

That said, whenever I search for (what I think are) sensible keywords
for this subject I generally only find my own work! I may be selecting a
rather blinkered set of keywords when I search but nevertheless it does
mean I will probably have to rely on you to make introductions!


Hi Daniel:

I have checked that trapping to ARM TF could work well for aarch64 as NMI, and maybe we could discussion about it. :)
