The state is saved in SMRAM, but we are accessing it using the non-SMM
address space ... how did it pass testing?
(Restore is using SMM address space, so I'm guessing that the mapping
from QEMU wasn't really utilizing two separate address spaces.)

And if we fail to write it, is there other option than throwing an error
to userspace? (Unset HF_SMM_MASK and pretend that nothing happened
doesn't find much support in docs.)
Thanks.
