/** @file
- This file declares SMM SMRAM Access abstraction protocol
+ This file declares SMM SMRAM Access abstraction protocol which is used to control
+ the visibility of the SMRAM on the platform. The expectation is
+ that the north bridge or memory controller would publish this protocol.
+ For example, the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) has the hardware provision for this
+ type of control. Because of the protected, distinguished class of memory for IA-32
+ systems, the expectation is that this protocol would be supported only on IA-32 systems.
