The pci host config register is used to save PCI address for
read/write config data. If guest writes a value to config register,
and then QEMU pauses the vcpu to migrate, after the migration, the guest
will continue to write pci config data, and the write data will be ignored
because of new qemu process losing the config register state.
To trigger the bug:
1. guest is booting in seabios.
2. guest enables the SMRAM in seabios:piix4_apmc_smm_setup, and then
expects to disable the SMRAM by pci_config_writeb.
3. after guest writes the pci host config register, QEMU pauses vcpu
to finish migration.
4. guest write of config data(0x0A) fails to disable the SMRAM because
the config register state is lost.
5. guest continues to boot and crashes in ipxe option ROM due to SMRAM
in enabled state.
Example Reproducer:
step 1. Make modifications to seabios and qemu for increase reproduction
efficiency, write 0xf0 to 0x402 port notify qemu to stop vcpu after
0x0cf8 port wrote i440 configure register. qemu stop vcpu when catch
0x402 port wrote 0xf0.

This patch fixes it.
