PiSmmCpuDxeSmm consumes SmmAttributesTable and setup page table: 1) Code region is marked as read-only and Data region is non-executable, if the PE image is 4K aligned. 2) Important data structure is set to RO, such as GDT/IDT. 3) SmmSaveState is set to non-executable, and SmmEntrypoint is set to read-only. 4) If static page is supported, page table is read-only. We use page table to protect other components, and itself. If we use dynamic paging, we can still provide *partial* protection. And hope page table is not modified by other components. The XD enabling code is moved to SmiEntry to let NX take effect.
