Ugh, correctly prioritizing SMI is a mess. It has migration implications, a proper fix requires non-trivial changes to inject_pending_event(), there are pre-existing (minor) bugs related to MTF handling, and technically INIT should have lower priority than non-trap exceptions (because the exception happens before the event window is opened). Can you just drop 9/13, "Prioritize SMI over nested IRQ/NMI" from kvm/queue? It's probably best to deal with this in a new series rather than trying to squeeze it in.
