That's a very good idea, and the diffstat looks much better. I'll change it for v3.

Sure, I'll update the comment to state that this branch is only taken before the
boot CPU has enabled pseudo-NMIs, because the call to gic_enable_nmi_support()
comes after gic_cpu_init() in gic_init_bases().

Sure, I'll respin it as soon as possible and send a v3.

Have you tested the series using the PMU NMI branch from the cover letter? If so,
would you mind giving a Tested-by tag for that series [1]?
