SMM Control Combinations
The G_SMRAME bit provides a global enable for all SMM memory. The D_OPEN bit allows
software to write to the SMM ranges without being in SMM mode. BIOS software can use this bit
to initialize SMM code at powerup. The D_LCK bit limits the SMM range access to only SMM
mode accesses. The D_CLS bit causes SMM data accesses to be forwarded to the DMI or PCI
Express. The SMM software can use this bit to write to video memory while running SMM code
out of DRAM.

SMM Space Decode and Transaction Handling
Only the processor is allowed to access SMM space. PCI Express and DMI originated
transactions are not allowed to SMM space.
9.4.6
Processor WB Transaction to an Enabled SMM Address
Space
Processor write-back transactions (HREQ1# = 0) to enabled SMM address space must be written
to the associated SMM DRAM, even though the space is not open and the transaction is not
performed in SMM mode. This ensures SMM space cache coherency when cacheable extended
SMM space is used.
