The problem here is that nmi.o is listed in common-obj-y in
hw/core/Makefile.objs, which means it is built only once and must
not have any code which is built differently for different targets.
Either the code needs to be changed not to have the target-dependency,
or the file should be put in obj-y instead of common-obj-y.
