Ah interesting.  I was going to suggest somehow setting a bit when an SCI
comes in and check that bit in the unknown NMI path as a possible hint
that the NMI might be related to HEST (sorta how we flag unknown NMIs in
the perf code).

It was just an idea.  Obviously a service processor will make that more
difficult. :-)

Cheers,
