Of course the placement of KVM-specific fields is somewhat arbitrary, 
but based on sandpile.org data I would place it at 0xFF1A ("reserved", 
you have to search for 7F1Ah in the web page).

Likewise, based on AMD BKDG I would place this at 0xFECB after the "NMI 
Mask" field (which unfortunately I learnt about only after "inventing" 
HF_SMM_INSIDE_NMI_MASK).

I can do the changes myself, but please ack.
