+panic_on_unrecovered_nmi
+------------------------
+
+The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to continue
+operation. For many environments such as scientific computing it is preferable
+that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than an uncorrected
+parity/ECC error get propogated.

+power management so the default is off. That sysctl works like the existing
+panic controls already in that directory.
