AFAIK kdump uses nmi. You can try that.
Comment 17 Miya Chen 2009-09-24 07:20:42 UTC 
Test this problem with kvm-83-105.el5_4.4 in AMD host:

1. 
1)Start windows guest by:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -rtc-td-hack -no-hpet -usbdevice tablet -cpu qemu64,+sse2 -drive file=win08-r2.raw,if=virtio,boot=on -smp 2 -m 2G -name win08-r2 -net nic,macaddr=20:20:20:11:42:77,model=e1000,vlan=0 -net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,vlan=0 -vnc :2
2)type nmi 0 in the monitor

Actual result:
windows guest got BSOD.

2.
1)Start linux guest by:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -rtc-td-hack -no-hpet -usbdevice tablet -cpu qemu64,+sse2 -drive file=RHEL-Server-5.4-64-virtio.qcow2,if=ide -smp 2 -m 2G -name rhel54-64 -net nic,macaddr=20:20:20:11:42:66,model=e1000,vlan=0 -net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,vlan=0 -vnc :2
2)type nmi 0 in the monitor

Actual result:
grep NMI /cat/interrupts
NMI:      1        0

3.
Restart win2008R2 DC guest for 10 times, all restart sucess.
cmd:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -rtc-td-hack -no-hpet -usbdevice tablet -cpu qemu64,+sse2 -drive file=win28k-r2-virtio.raw,if=virtio,boot=on -smp 2 -m 2G -name win28k-r2-virtio -net nic,macaddr=20:20:20:11:42:77,model=e1000,vlan=0 -net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,vlan=0 -vnc :2

Base on above test, NMI can be received by guest in AMD host.
