Hi，Mark

Thanks for your feedback.I apprecaite your interest in this patch series
and look forward to receiving additional comments from you and others in
the community.

I am pleased to inform you that the FEAT_NMI features has been successfully
merged into the upstream QEMU codebase at the "master" branch recently. This
allow for initial testing without requiring hardware support for FEAT_NMI.

To ensure minimal regressions introduced by this patch series, i have done
testing using perf top, hardlokup and ipi nmi for various configurations,
including (1) no NMI (2) use CONFIG_PSEUDO_NMI (3) use CONFIG_ARM64_NMI.

We encourage further discussion and feedback on the patch series. We are
particularly interested in hearing from developers who might have experience
with NMI handling or those using platforms with FEAT_NMI capabilities.

Thank you.
