Ok, I see what Peter was talking about. I've added this patch to the series.

How about:
To prepare for saving PKRS values across NMI's we lift the
idtentry_[enter|exit]_nmi() to the common code. Rename them to
irqentry_nmi_[enter|exit]() to reflect the new generic nature and store the
state in the same irqentry_state_t structure as the other irqentry_*()
functions. Finally, differentiate the state being stored between the NMI and
IRQ path by adding 'lockdep' to irqentry_state_t.

Building on what Peter said do you agree this should be made into a union?
It may not be strictly necessary in this patch but I think it would reflect the
mutual exclusivity better and could be changed easy enough in the follow on
patch which adds the pkrs state.
