What do you mean by "not even available on guests"? I'm talking about
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/pci/fixup.c#n876

    static void quirk_clear_strap_no_soft_reset_dev2_f0(struct pci_dev *dev)
    {
        u32 data;

        if (!amd_smn_read(0, AMD_15B8_RCC_DEV2_EPF0_STRAP2, &data)) {
            data &= ~AMD_15B8_RCC_DEV2_EPF0_STRAP2_NO_SOFT_RESET_DEV2_F0_MASK;
            if (amd_smn_write(0, AMD_15B8_RCC_DEV2_EPF0_STRAP2, data))
                pci_err(dev, "Failed to write data 0x%x\n", data);
        } else {
            pci_err(dev, "Failed to read data\n");
        }
    }
    DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_FINAL(PCI_VENDOR_ID_AMD, 0x15b8, quirk_clear_strap_no_soft_reset_dev2_f0);

There is nothing here that would prevent amd_smn_read() being called
inside a guest...
