I don't think above QEMU change is upstream acceptable. It may break
functionality for 'normal' VMs.

The UPM check does putting tighter restriction, the restriction is that
you can't bind the same fd range to more than one memslot. For SMRAM in
QEMU however, it violates this restriction. The right 'fix' is disabling
SMM in QEMU for UPM usages rather than trying to work around it. There
is more discussion in below link:
