This command disables NMI-entry. If NMI source has been previously shared with a serial console ("debug port"), this effectively releases the port from KDB exclusive use, and makes the console available for normal use.
Of course, NMI can be reenabled, enable_nmi modparam is used for that:
echo 1 > /sys/module/kdb/parameters/enable_nmi
