Last year when I was testing KVM on a Sandy Bridge box, I was hitting
https://github.com/joyent/illumos-kvm/issues/1 and trying to
troubleshoot via NMI.  I had the X9SRA board, which is similar to
yours.  I didn't have IPMI or a chassis button, so I was attempting to
short the appropriate pins.  I recall that I saw an NMI message on the
console, but the system did not panic.

I would go with the assumption that it will work as it did for Solaris
10, until proven otherwise. :)
