Hi!

I ran through our tests on stable-202205-rc1, and I'm finding that all
of the tests using 2M FD_SIZE & SMM_REQUIRE=TRUE are failing with
QEMU hanging w/o output. Equivalent tests w/ 4M FD_SIZE are working
fine. I bisected it down to this commit, and also confirmed that
reverting this commit on top of 202205-rc1 also avoids the problem.

I might have a chance to debug more tomorrow, but for now I just
wanted to flag it.
