Re: Testing SMM with QEMU, KVM and libvirt

["Shi, Steven" <steven.shi@intel.com>]

Hi Laszlo,
I wonder if you could offer a Ubuntu version wiki for the Testing-SMM-with-QEMU,-KVM-and-libvirt?  I'm trying to port your steps to my Ubuntu 16.04, but meet lots of troubles. The Ubuntu apt-get virsh version is too old to support smm feature in your ovmf.fedora.q35.template, and I have to build the new version libvirt by myself. I meet lots of failures when configure the new version virsh, and wonder if you could help.
