To reach this caller we know that platform firmware took this error first, then notified the OS via NMI with a 'panic' severity. Don't wait for another CPU to release the die-lock before we can panic(), our only goal is to print this fatal error and panic(). This code is always called in_nmi(), and since 42a0bb3f7138 ("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI"), it has been safe to call printk() from this context. Messages are batched in a per-cpu buffer and printed via irq-work, or a call back from panic().
