Good work! ABI looks ok and unknown bugs shouldn't be major.
With ~HF_SMM_INSIDE_NMI_MASK [04/13], early return [06/13] and
INIT [14/13] fixed,

A list of minor stuff I noticed (you'll probably agree with [12/13]):
[06/13] get_smstate can't be a valid C function, CAPS would be clearer
[06/13] get_smstate uses kvm_read_guest_virt_system for every field,
buffering the whole block should be much faster
[06/13] mangled whitespace in trace_kvm_enter_smm
[08/13] '(u16)' or '0xffff &' seem better than '65535 &'
[10/13] try_async_pf() could pass memslot to kvm_arch_setup_async_pf()
[11/13] '#define kvm_for_each_address_space' would fit a lot of places
[12/13] add role.smm to Documentation/virtual/kvm/mmu.txt
[14/13] kvm_lapic_latched_init could use a linebreak
