The SMM modifiers will never be generated as KVM doesn't support/employ a SMI Transfer Monitor.  Ditto for "exit from enclave", as KVM doesn't yet support virtualizing SGX, i.e. it's impossible to enter an enclave in a KVM guest (L1 or L2).

Nice catch! There are similar patch catching this exit reson error.
