With AMD we just have IRQ/NMI/SMI, and it's important to handle SMI in
check_nested_events because you can turn SMIs into vmexit without stuff
such as dual-monitor treatment.  On the other hand there is no MTF and
we're not handling exceptions yet.  So, since SMIs should be pretty rare
anyway, I'd rather just add a comment detailing the correct order and
why we're not following it.  The minimal fix would be to move SMI above
the preemption timer, right?
