Currently coreboot has limited use for the SMM save state. Typically
the only thing needed is to get or set a few registers and to know
which CPU triggered the SMI (typically via an IO write). Abstracting
away different SMM save states would allow to put some SMM
functionality like the SMMSTORE entry in common places.
To save place platforms can select different SMM save sate ops that
should be implemented. For instance AMD platforms don't need Intel SMM
save state handling.
Some platforms can encounter CPUs with different save states, which
the code then handles at runtime by comparing the SMM save state
revision which is located at the same offset for all SMM save state
types.
