For KVM/arm64:
No, we don't do anything like SMM emulation on x86. Architecturally
speaking, though, we do have a higher level of privilege typically
used by firmware on arm64, called EL3.
I'll need to read David's series a bit more closely, but I'm inclined to
think that the page role is going to be rather arch-specific.
