You must clear the flag in hardware. Because after the faulting opcode
the CPU writes data to the
stack and those accesses must succeed. Then it reads the interrupt
vectors to start the fault
routine. So when the NMI fault handler is taken it would be too late to
clear the flag.

I guess that's why noone has so far - as to my knowledge - implemented
something like this :-)
