Per spec:"IA32_LBR_CTL.LBREn is saved and cleared on #SMI, and restored
on RSM. On a warm reset, all LBR MSRs, including IA32_LBR_DEPTH, have their
values preserved. However, IA32_LBR_CTL.LBREn is cleared to 0, disabling
LBRs." So clear Arch LBREn bit on #SMI and restore it on RSM manully, also
clear the bit when guest does warm reset.

This is incorrect, you hare not saving/restoring the actual value of
LBREn (which is "lbr_desc->event != NULL").  Therefore, a migration
while in SMM would lose the value of LBREn = true.

Instead of using flip_arch_lbr_ctl, SMM should save the value of the MSR
in kvm_x86_ops->enter_smm, and restore it in kvm_x86_ops->leave_smm
(feel free to do it only if guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_LM), i.e.
the 32-bit case can be ignored).

In the case of migration in SMM, I assume kvm_x86_ops->enter_smm() called in source side

and kvm_x86_ops->leave_smm() is called at destination, then should the saved LBREn be transferred

to destination too? The destination can rely on the bit to defer setting LBREn bit in

VMCS until kvm_x86_ops->leave_smm() is called. is it good? thanks!
