Well, we need:
- an extra ioctl to inject an SMI (can be modeled after KVM_NMI)
- an extra user exit triggered when SMM is entered or left
- an extra ioctl (or a GET/SET_ONE_REG implementation) to read/write
whether we are in SMM, used to determine whether the #UD produced by RSM
should be forwarded to the guest or trigger emulation.
