Please ignore my last e-mail. This one is the commit reported
by git bisect for seabios:

457ba42878bd9f704e5a6c1c7bc7fcced686fe4e is the first bad commit

     smm: complete SMM setup

     SMI generation requires two bits to be set in PIIX4, one for APMC
     interrupts specifically and a general one.

     For Q35 it is the same, plus it is a good thing to lock SMIs after
     enabling them.
