Can we have better names may be? Since direct printk_nmi is not in fact always `direct'.

Hmm, printk_safe.c knows about printk.c, printk.c knows about printk_safe.c.

OK... Can we do this in vprintk_func()? The race window should be super tiny [if matters at all], but in exchange we don't have to mix nmi, printk, printk_mni, etc.
So over all I understand why you did it this way. May be I'd prefer to have less universal but shorter solution (e.g. modify only nmi_backtrace function and put there "printk_nmi_restricted_buffer"), but I won't really object your patch [unless I see some real issues with it].
