The big real mode support needed for SMM is no greater than the big
real mode supported needed for option roms.  Since option roms work
today, I'm not sure what more is needed.  (I recall there being a
problem with %eip>64K, but there's no reason to do that in SMM so I
don't think it is an issue.)

There's already a check for this today - if a specific PCI device
exists then seabios tries to setup SMM, otherwise it doesn't.
