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:

This fixes the following:
- Fix smmstore_read_region to actually read stuff
- Clean up the code a little
- Change the loglevel for non error messages to BIOS_DEBUG
- Use an incoherent rdev to potentially speed up reading access
TESTED on google/wolf with out of tree patch to hook up smmstore to
sb/intel/lynxpoint.

As discussed on the mailing list and voted upon, the coreboot project
is going to move the majority of copyrights out of the headers and into
an AUTHORS file. This will happen a bit at a time, as we'll be unifying
license headers at the same time.
Updated Authors file is in a separate commit.

Use a raw fmap region SMMSTORE for the SMMSTORE mechanism, while
keeping the initial option to use a cbfsfile.
TESTED on Asus P5QC, (although it looks like the tianocore patches
using it might need some love as they can't seem to save properly).
