security/intel/stm: Check for processor STM support
Check to ensure that dual monitor mode is supported on the current processor. Dual monitor mode is normally supported on any Intel x86 processor that has VTx support. The STM is a hypervisor that executes in SMM dual monitor mode. This check should fail only in the rare case were dual monitor mode is disabled. If the check fails, then the STM will not be initialized by coreboot. Signed-off-by: Eugene D.
