This patch series is a result of long debug work to find out why
sometimes guests with win11 secure boot
were failing during boot.

During writing a unit test I found another bug, turns out
that on rsm emulation, if the rsm instruction was done in real
or 32 bit mode, KVM would truncate the restored RIP to 32 bit.

I also refactored the way we write SMRAM so it is easier
now to understand what is going on.

The main bug in this series which I fixed is that we
allowed #SMI to happen during the STI interrupt shadow,
and we did nothing to both reset it on #SMI handler
entry and restore it on RSM.

I have now sent out the final/new version of the first 8 patches and will review these tomorrow. Thanks for your patience. :)
