Subject: [PATCH v2 14/14] powerpc: make unrecoverable NMIs die instead of panic

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2020 23:26:22 +1000

System Reset and Machine Check interrupts that are not recoverable due
to being nested or interrupting when RI=0 currently panic. This is
not necessary, and can often just kill the current context and recover.
