Yes: #DF, #MC, #BP (int3), #DB and NMI all have in_nmi() true.
Ignoring #DF because that's mostly game over, you can get them all
nested for up to 4 (you're well aware of the normal NMI recursion
crap).
Then there is the SEV #VC stuff, which is also NMI like. So if you're a
CoCo-nut, you can perhaps get it up to 5.
