When the guest CPUID doesn't have support for long mode, 32 bit SMRAM
layout is used and it has no support for preserving EFER and/or SVM
state.

Note that this isn't relevant to running 32 bit guests on VM which is
long mode capable - such VM can still run 32 bit guests in compatibility
mode.

Hmm, or userspace can ensure SMIs never get delivered.  Maybe?

Unnecessary newline.

This doesn't actually fix anything,  RSM will still jump to L2 state but in L1
context.  I think we first need to actually handle errors from
static_call(kvm_x86_enter_smm).

Given that SVM can't even guarantee nested_svm_simple_vmexit() succeeds, i.e. KVM
can't force the vCPU out of L2 to ensure triple fault would hit L1, killing the VM
seems like the least awful solution (and it's still quite awful).
