I'm probably missing something, but what's the desired effect of both
raising KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT and returning X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE here?

I've modified smm selftest to see what's happening:

diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/smm_test.c b/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/smm_test.c

                state = vcpu_save_state(vm, VCPU_ID);
                kvm_vm_release(vm);
                kvm_vm_restart(vm, O_RDWR);

What I see is:

        smm_test-7600  [002]  4497.073918: kvm_exit:             reason EXIT_RSM rip 0x8004 info 0 0

If I change X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE to X86EMUL_CONTINUE tripple fault is
happening indeed (why don't we have triple fault printed in trace by
default BTW???):

        smm_test-16810 [006]  5117.007220: kvm_exit:             reason EXIT_RSM rip 0x8004 info 0 0

        smm_test-16810 [006]  5117.007230: kvm_fpu:              unload
        smm_test-16810 [006]  5117.007230: kvm_userspace_exit:   reason KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN (8)

So should we actually have X86EMUL_CONTINUE when we queue
KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT here?

(Initially, my comment was supposed to be 'why don't you add
TRIPLE_FAULT to smm selftest?' but the above overshadows it)
