IMHO this is not possible as this is a NON maskable interrupt,
thus the processor MUST do the jump and there is no way
a programmer (think OS) can hook into that.
... and so it SHOULD. Think the other way, you have
a hung OS (locked) and you need to reset. IF this
was maskable you could press that button, but nothing
wopuld happen as the OS already is dead, requiring a
power cycle.
If you want something to reboot the computer by
pressing a button, i.e. no keyboard, use the
power button as this is maskable. Catch this
through inittab and shut down the computer
nicely (I do this one a few machines).
