Mea culpa. I have marked this patch as proceed by mistake. It has got
enough acks and is ready for 5.8.

I have just commited the patch into printk/linux.git,
branch for-5.8-kdb-nmi.

I am going to push it to Linus when it passes linux-next integration,
hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks a lot for poking me.
