There's no need to use vmcb/vmcs memory either, just add fields in kvm_vcpu_arch to save/restore the state across SMI/RSM, and then borrow VMX's approach of supporting migration by adding flags to do out-of-band migration, e.g. KVM_STATE_NESTED_SMM_STI_BLOCKING and KVM_STATE_NESTED_SMM_MOV_SS_BLOCKING. /* SMM state that's not saved in SMRAM. */ struct { struct { u8 interruptibility; } smm; } nested; That'd finally give us an excuse to move nested_run_pending to common code too :-)
