I was referring to the "Marko Makela's finding is only relevant for the stock hardware" sentence. And I meant that as long as you have a "stock" CIA with its interrupt output connected to the NMI line, the assertion remains "valid and relevant" as opposite to something like a "non-stock"/broken CIA, which might behave differently yet I see no added value in examining such paths.

Yes.

Yes.
