I have figured out why it didn't work. It is a KVM issue. My kernel did not
have CONFIG_KVM_SMM enabled. Once I enabled it, it works as expected.
Unless you think this is still a bug because SMM is not available, please
close this.
Replying to an old bug report.
It smells here like seabios assuming something about the (virtual)
machine it is running on, which is not true without KVM_SMM. I don't
know much details about this one, but we can try to experiment. The
thing is: if the issue disappears/reappears when you change qemu, it
might be a bug in qemu, obviously.
Please try with -machine smm=off - it should probably behave like
if the host kernel had no KVM_SMM support.
Also, please check if current qemu works or not.
Thanks,
