There's already a check for this today - if a specific PCI device exists then seabios tries to setup SMM, otherwise it doesn't.
Which PCI device is that?
When you say "tries", do you mean it allows for failure?
If PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB_3 and PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82441 are found then seabios programs the SMM. If either device is not found, then it wont attempt to program it. Right now, one of these devices isn't on kvm, and so seabios doesn't try to program smm.
