kvm smm mode support?

  Hi,

Anyone has plans to add smm support to kvm?

We have two potential use cases meanwhile:

 (1) OVMF could use it to implement the LockBox (storage area the
     OS can't tamper with, needed to make secure boot actually secure).

 (2) SeaBIOS considers using a SMM trampoline to switch into 32bit mode
     for device drivers.  See
        http://www.seabios.org/pipermail/seabios/2014-April/007957.html

cheers,
  Gerd
