I agree with this, however AMD does document some fields in the SMM
state save area that are related to SVM.  At least the following are
worth using, because they remove the need for svm->nested.smm

- "SVM Guest" at 0xFED8h

- "SVM Guest VMCB Physical Address" at 0xFEE0h

Both are quadwords (8 bytes).
