Personally, I don't see anything wrong in these patches, apart from
the typo that Cornelia pointed out.

If you wanted to inject an NMI on non-sPAPR machines, such as -M mac99
or -M g3beige you would have to trigger an interrupt with the MPIC, not
the CPU itself.

But right now inject-nmi was a CPU-specific interface and whoever needs something different will have to find a way.

You could argue that Alexey does need something different thanks to his need to inject the NMI on all CPUs.

What about an NMIMonitorHandler interface that takes a Monitor*, and then you iterate on all of /machine looking for implementors of the interface? Then -M mac99 can add it to the MPIC, -M spapr can just ignore the Monitor*, and i386/s390 can look at the current CPU.

I think modeling a button is easier and closer to what you'd actually get on real hardware.
