Yes, all of these would work. Again, I'm interested in having something
that has a hope of being implemented in real hardware.
Another, far easier to implement possibility could be a lockable MSR
(could be the existing MSR_SMM_FEATURE_CONTROL) that allows programming
the SMBASE outside SMM. It would be nice if such a bit could be defined
by Intel.
