/** @file
This file declares SMM Control abstraction protocol.
+ This protocol is used initiate SMI/PMI activations. This protocol could be published by either of
+ the following:
+ - 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
+ IntelŪ chipset
+ Because of the possibility of performing SMI or PMI IPI transactions, the ability to generate this
+ event from a platform chipset agent is an optional capability for both IA-32 and ItaniumŪ-based
+ systems.
