+panic_on_io_nmi:
+
+Controls the kernel's behavior when a CPU receives an NMI caused by
+an IO error.
+
+0: try to continue operation (default)
+
+1: panic immediately. The IO error triggered an NMI. This indicates a
+ serious system condition which could result in IO data corruption.
+ Rather than continuing, panicking might be a better choice. Some
+ servers issue this sort of NMI when the dump button is pushed,
+ and you can use this option to take a crash dump.
