This file declares the SMM Control abstraction protocol.
This protocol is used to initiate SMI/PMI activations. This protocol could be published by either:
- A processor driver to abstract the SMI/PMI IPI
- The driver that abstracts the ASIC that is supporting the APM port, such as the ICH in an
Intel chipset
Because of the possibility of performing SMI or PMI IPI transactions, the ability to generate this
