Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] KVM: x86: allow compiling out SMM support

Some users of KVM implement the UEFI variable store through a paravirtual device
that does not require the "SMM lockbox" component of edk2; allow them to
compile out system management mode, which is not a full implementation
especially in how it interacts with nested virtualization.

In order to limit the number and especially the size of the #ifdefs,
the first 4 patches move most SMM code to a completely new file in
arch/x86/kvm.  Patch 5 is the main change to introduce the Kconfig
symbol and key smm.c's compilation off it; patches 6-8 instead eliminate
other bits of SMM code that remain outside smm.c, the last one being
"optional" as it is a bit into diminishing returns land.
