Anyone has plans to add smm support to kvm?

No plans, but it should be a Simple Matter Of Programming...

A good start would be to write unit tests for SMM that work with QEMU. Too bad we're late, it could have been a nice summer of code project.

We have two potential use cases meanwhile:

 (1) OVMF could use it to implement the LockBox (storage area the
     OS can't tamper with, needed to make secure boot actually secure).

 (2) SeaBIOS considers using a SMM trampoline to switch into 32bit mode
     for device drivers.  See
