this is not how the NMI oopser works. It does *not* shut down the console
- you can still see everything in 'dmesg'. If you want to see it on the
console again, you can do 'dmesg -n 8'. Adding a 'once per reboot'
restriction is unreasonable - there are user-space applications that can
be terminated via the NMI-oopser safely. In 99% of the cases it's the
first oops that counts, and most people do not have serial console set up,
so writing the first oops down from screen is important.
