Minor nitpick: I woudn't say that KVM "caches" L1 host state as this implies
that there is a master copy somewhere.
I would write something like that instead:

"KVM stores L1 host state in VMCB01 because the CPU naturally stores it there."

Other than that the comment looks very good.

Looks like the return value of vendor specific 'enter_smm' isn't checked
in the common 'enter_smm' handler which itself returns 'void', and doesn't
check anything it does either.

enter_smm is called from inject_pending_event which is allowed to return
a negative value which is assumed to be -EBUSY and doesn't lead
to exit with negative value to userspace.
I vote to fix this and only hide -EBUSY from the userspace,
and let all other errors from this function end up in userspace
so that userspace could kill the guest.

This isn't this patch fault though, and I think I'll send a patch
to do the above.

I doubt that this will ever change, but let it be.

Looks fine as well.

So besides the nitpick of the comment,
