drivers/smmstore: Implement SMMSTORE version 2
SMMSTORE version 2 is a complete redesign of the current driver. It is
not backwards-compatible with version 1, and only one version can be
used at a time.
Key features:
* Uses a fixed communication buffer instead of writing to arbitrary
memory addresses provided by untrusted ring0 code.
* Gives the caller full control over the used data format.
* Splits the store into smaller chunks to allow fault tolerant updates.
* Doesn't provide feedback about the actual read/written bytes, just
returns error or success in registers.
* Returns an error if the requested operation would overflow the
communication buffer.
Separate the SMMSTORE into 64 KiB blocks that can individually be
read/written/erased. To be used by payloads that implement a
FaultTolerant Variable store like TianoCore.
The implementation has been tested against EDK2 master.
An example EDK2 implementation can be found here:
