Well I don't know what behavior to expect from SMM... :)

Plus, Kevin recently posted some remarks about the SMM implementation in
qemu-tcg -- apparently it's not faithful enough to physical hardware:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.coreboot.seabios/7959
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/268909

(But I can see that you've been already discussing the second thread; I
guess I should read up on it first...)

Thanks
Laszlo
