switch off "non maskable interrupts" with Cortex M3

The register FAULTMASK allows to enable/disable the NMI, non maskable interrupts.
I thought NMI's could generally never be switched off by the user. But with FAULTMASK = 1
I can switch off?

right, only hard faults can be switched off. But never NMIs.

Yup, NON-MASKABLE interrupts get their name from the fact that they cannot be turned off !!

Hi there, the FAULTMASK does not stop the processor from taking NMI.
