I don't like ignoring unexpected exceptions.  I would only ignore
exception 15 on P6's (it's sort of expected there).

The nearby (old) NMI/POWERFAIL ifdefs and code is disgusting and
broken (the NMI gate should be an interrupt gate and interrupts should
be kept masked until the NMI handler returns).
