Linux has such checks.  Would it be possible to beg/steal/borrow it in a
useful fashion?

With regards to the reentrant NMI issue, I was considering introducing
__nmi and __mce tags in a similar way to __init.

At one level, simply having the tags as noops to the compiler would at
least make programmers consider the implication of what they are
inserting into the codepaths, but if there is the ability to have
compiler checks to verify a base level of sanity, that is even better.
