Add functionality to allocate interrupt lines that will deliver IRQs as Non-Maskable Interrupts. These allocations are only successful if the irqchip provides the necessary support and allows NMI delivery for the interrupt line. Interrupt lines allocated for NMI delivery must be enabled/disabled through enable_nmi/disable_nmi_nosync to keep their state consistent. To treat a PERCPU IRQ as NMI, the interrupt must not be shared nor threaded, the irqchip directly managing the IRQ must be the root irqchip and the irqchip cannot be behind a slow bus.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
