Answering my own question, because I did some homework in this area while
working on that SMI int shadow bug:

Actually what will happen (now I checked) is that we have a special KVM host state flag
(called X86EMUL_SMM_MASK, and HF_SMM_INSIDE_NMI_MASK), and what we do is that if we
receive SMI while in NMI handler, we don't mask the NMI again, on RSM we don't unmask NMI.

Also, as I found out the hard way recently, the NMI is not blocked by the interrupt shadow.

I don't think that anything is saved to the SMRAM in this case.
